Everyone Can Be A Star

(album: The Bad C.C. - 1982)

Everyone can be a star (be a star, be a star)
Makes no difference who you are
(Makes no difference who you are)
Everyone is shining bright (shining bright, shining bright)
Turn on your light (start it up)

Growing up in city life
People on the hustle from left to right
I find myself sometimes confused
Have to stop myself from being used
Being strong, being myself
I couldn't settle for second best
Something deep inside was telling me
To take my time and be what I wanna be, ooh

Everyone can be a star (star, everyone)
Makes no difference who you are (makes no difference)
Everyone is shining bright (bright, everyone)
Turn on your light (turn on your light)
Everyone can be a star
Makes no difference who you are
Everyone is shining bright
Turn on your lights

In our world sometimes we stand alone
A lonely way you learn to be strong
You start to do the things you feel are right
While all along you got your dreams in sight
Someday you dream of getting to the top
Like James Brown's – you never gonna stop
Sly said, in the end you'll still be you
James said, be "Super Bad" at what you do
Be a star!

Everyone can be a star
Makes no difference who, who you are
Everyone is shining bright, shining bright
Turn on, turn on your light

Ooh, ooh...
Gotta be strong, gotta hold on
Woo!

Everyone can be a star
Makes no difference who, who you are
Everyone is shining bright
Turn on, turn on your lights!
I wanna see

Oh, turn on the light
(Star, everyone) everyone
(Makes no difference) you gotta be strong
(Bright, everyone) you gotta, you gotta hold on
(Everyone can be a star)
Oh, everyone's gotta be a winner
(Everyone can be a star)
You gotta start from the bottom, to get to the top
You can never stop, ooh
(Star, everyone can be a star)
Growing up in city life can be so hard
(Star, everyone can be a star)
Everyone can be what you wanna be
Ooh wee, oh, hey yeah...
(Star, everyone can be a star)
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine on, ooh...
(Star, everyone can be a star)
(Star, everyone) found myself being confused...
