Melanie Safka - To Be A Star INTRO: CHORUS: To be a star you’ve got to shine To be the light in someone’s heart You gotta be bigger than you are Gotta be bigger than you are If you can’t reach what you can see When dreams are your reality It’s time to be bigger than you are Time to be bigger than you are Are you ready for the sudden awakening Are you ready for the total recall Are you ready for the truth when it’s told and How do you know that it’s the truth at all Sometimes that truth isn’t honest Sometimes it cuts like a knife Some days take more than all day and Some lives take more than one life CHORUS: To be a star you’ve got to shine To be the light in someone’s heart You gotta be bigger than you are Gotta be bigger than you are If a smile would break on every face At once our planet human race Would learn how to find the path with heart We could be bigger than we are bigger than we are Are you ready for the rock and roll ending Are you ready for the rigmarole Are you ready when you gave it all And you’ll be damned if you know where you’re gonna get some more Are you ready are you ready Ready to be bigger (are you ready) Ready to be bigger than a star CHORUS: (## repeat and fade ##) To be a star you’ve got to shine To be the light in someone’s heart You gotta be bigger bigger than you are Bigger than you are bigger than you are To be a star you’ve got to shine To be the light in someone’s heart You gotta be bigger bigger than you are Bigger than you are bigger than you are
