No one seems to think too much of me here
and they're glad to tell it to my face
And though I am not suppose to be here
I'm completely out of place

Somehow there has got to be a reason
even as I try to think it through
There's a bolt from the blue

And I see a shooting star
Set apart from all the rest
While the other stars are standing still
He's on a quest

Every night this shooting star
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in
and he's longing to know why

I feel so much better when it's night-time
That's when I can sort of disappear
When the sun is set and it's the right time
for pretending I'm not here

Sometimes I just stare into the heavens
Wondering if the answer is inside
That's when I see the light

Of myself  that shooting star
On his way to who know's where
He's a one like all the stars

But he outshines out the rest

And the solitary star
Is an awful lot like me
On an endless search through time and space

Far a place that won't seem wrong

If we both hang on for long enough
we both somehow are strong enough
We'll find out were we belong
