Open your eyes, Starlight
The time has come for you to face the day
Shine and rise, Starlight
Don't forget to brush your teeth and pray
I did everything for you
I did everything for you
Come to me, Starlight
Let me brush your hair the way you like it
There may be others, Starlight
Who will want to shine brighter than you, but just let 'em try it
I did everything for you
I took every risk I had to
I did everything for you
You are my one and only shooting star
And you can fly so far
They will see exactly who you're meant to be
Who you are
Look in my eyes, Starlight
You'll always be my precious little girl
I know in my heart, Starlight
You're gonna be the one that saves the world
I did everything for you
I took every risk I had to
And when you're finally grown and you look back on this home
I hope you know
I did everything for you

Spark

It starts with a spark
Something burning up inside a hero's heart
And you'll never be the same
Cuz when it starts it heats up everything and it makes you feel alive
You're a star
They tell you all the time that you're a star
And it's burned into your mind that you're a star
And it starts with a spark
Made by God
Something beautiful, divine, a work of art
And you know they're gonna stare at you in awe
And you cannot let them down cuz you've come too far
So on you march
And you'll show them you can handle heavy burdens on your back
When you're a star
Tell yourself once more that you're a star
And there's nothing that you can't do when you're a star
And it starts with a...
It starts with a...
It starts with a big breath in, hold up your chin
As you walk through the door
It's time to go and you never know
Just what life has in store
Every hero's journey starts out small
And the tower of the Seven looms so tall
Annie keep your head together, please don't jinx it all
Stars have this nasty habit where they fall
You're a star
Even if you crash and burn you're still a star
I just hope it doesn't get that far
You're a star
And it starts with a
Spark

We got your numbers from this quarter, Starlight
You're down 35%
There's water cooler talk about your transfer
What's wrong? You think you're heaven sent?
Stand still, Product
Let us capture images of you
Don't fear, Product
The public knows exactly what to do
Don't you know ya gotta give a little bit just to get a little bit in this world?
We think you might need just a little edge
Cater to the men a little bit
Why do you look so surprised?
Can't be a fighter if you can't even take a hit
Low cut, Product
Let them get a different glimpse of you
Bow down, Product
Let them see right through
Don't you know ya gotta give a little bit just to get a little bit in this world?
I'll try to be what they want me to be
But I never dreamed of this version of me
You're a long way from home, Starlight
It's a long row to hoe, Starlight
But you will see this through, Starlight
Think of all the good you'll do, Starlight
You're ours, Product
Selling out is nothing all that new
Behave, Product
You'll be out those gleaming doors unless you do
Don't you know ya gotta give a little bit just to get ahead in this world?
I just can't do what they want me to do
Think of my mother, if she only knew
Well I can picture her face and I know what she'd say
This is all worth any price we must pay
You're a long way from home, Starlight
You're a long way from home

Goodbye, Sunshine

Did you hear about the girl who lost her heart?
She was a lot like me
Did you hear about the way she fell apart?
Suffered silently
And we all fall down
On the cold, hard ground
Goodbye, sunshine
Hello hard times
Our dreams will die
Just when things seem right
You find out it's something different after all
Did you hear about the girl who lost her way?
She was a lot like me
Do you know the foolish things she used to say?
So hopeful and naive
And we all fall down
On the cold, hard ground
So goodbye, sunshine
Hello hard times
Our dreams will die
Just when things seem right
You find out it's something different after all
Sometimes you forget about getting back up again
But you can forget about getting back up again

Park Bench

This doesn't happen all the time
It's like you can almost read my mind
But you don't know what I've done
And all the ways I've come undone
So I've been looking for a miracle
Someone who can save me from myself
And I'm thinkin' maybe you could be the one
You make me feel like everything's gonna be OK
You make me realize that I need to make a change, but anyway
I should go, cuz the world ain't slowin' down while we sit
On this park bench
The world is full of funny things
Like the way you pull my heartstrings
And just sitting side by side
Revives a part of me that died
And I've been looking for a miracle
Someone who can save me from my fate
And I'm thinkin' maybe you could be the one
You make me feel like everything's gonna be OK
You make me realize that I need to make a change, but anyway
I should go, cuz the world ain't slowin' down while we sit
On this park bench
You make me feel like I should let you in
But what if you decide you hate all the things I am
(I couldn't handle it)
You make me feel like everything's gonna be OK
You make me realize that I need to make a change, but anyway
I should go, cuz the world ain't slowin' down while we sit
On this park bench
So goodbye till next time
See you down the line
