Shooting Star  No one seems to think too much of me here  And they're glad to tell it to my face  And they're right I'm not supposed to be here  I'm completely out of place  Somehow there has got to be a reason  Evenings as I try to think it through  There's a bolt from the blue  And I see a shooting star  Set apart from all the rest  While the other stars are standing still  He's on a quest  Every night this shooting star  Darts across the twilight sky  Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in  And he's longing to know why  I feel so much better when it's night time  That's when I can sort of disappear  When the sun has set and it's the right time  For pretending I'm not here  Sometimes I just stare up to the heavens  Wondering if the answer is inside  That's when I see the light  Of myself that shooting star  On his way to who knows where  He's the one like all the stars  He outshines up there  And that solitary star  Is an awful lot like me  On an endless search through time and space  For a place that won't seem wrong  If we both hang on for long enough  If we both somehow are strong enough  We'll find out where we belong  Every night this shooting star  Darts across the twilight sky  Cause he know he doesn't quite fit in  And he's longing to know why  Know why  Longing to know why  Why, why  Know why Alan Menken/David Zippel  © 1997 Wonderland Music Company Inc./Walt Disney Music Company (ASCAP)
