OUT OF NOWHERE

 

You're another shining star

No one knowing who you are

The sky's a big reminder

Of just how far

Still you ride through space

Making sure you don't lose your place

The sky needs a reminder

That you're still in the race

So many wishes

So many dreams

Get lost in this big sky

Get no help from the other planets

Or the other moons

Out of nowhere, turning

Out of nowhere, comes your light

To the eyes of dreamers

The sky can't hide you from sight

Watch the planets as they move on past

Through a sky that forgets too fast

Can't veer from the course demand

Can't steer without a driving hand

So many wishes

So many dreams

Get stolen from this big sky

That feels no conscience from the other planets

Or their need to cry

You're another guiding star

Showing others to dream who they are

The sky can't stop you forever

Because you've come too far

So you glide through space

Putting the other planets in their place

The sky's a little bit wiser

To be a dreamer is no disgrace

Out of nowhere, turning

Out of nowhere, be the light

Keep to heart your creed

I dream, therefore I have the right - to shine.
