Lyrics

Here’s a song for anyone who tries to rise above the darkness of their lives.
There’s a war that must be won without tanks or bombs or guns and it’s begun when you realize…
you are, you are, you are a star.

Sheryl that’s my father’s favorite child. Mother hurt her every time she smiled. Robbed her of her sunny day
in ways I probably shouldn’t say,
but she did things that won’t be reconciled.
Me and sheryl share some DNA.
We also share a sky that’s colored gray.
The last thing we do,
we are going to paint it blue.
We will not let the past in our way.
And we are…

Scarred for life.
We are far from all right.
But we are shining so bright,
We are stars tonight.

Heather, that’s my friend from out of state.
I know she believes in fighting fate.
She has traded blue grass nights
for pacific ocean life
about an hour south of LA.
Cause she can’t stand the madness anymore.
She says every everyone’s a whore and insecure.
She says Botox shots and silicone
will not make her feel less alone,
she’s not coming home without a cure.
And we are…

Scarred for life.
We are far from all right.
But we are shining so bright,
We are stars tonight.

For anyone who never understood,
That deep inside of us is something good…
We are getting on just fine,
Not every diamond must be mine.
Not every star belongs in Hollywood.

Tabby, that’s my father’s favorite son.
Stuck inside a web he never spun.
But I know he’s decided
to break the chain like I did.
Now he knows he is not the only one.
And we are…

Scarred for life.
We are far from all right.
But we are shining so bright,
We are stars tonight.
We are shining so bright,
We don’t need to be your light.
We are scarred for life, but we are stars tonight.
