Wanted a Star

She was born a spark, but they wanted a flame
A quiet soul, but they needed a name
Tried to paint her in their lines of gold
But she slipped away, couldn’t be controlled

They wanted a star, shining so bright
But she’s just a girl, lost in the night
She tried to fit, but couldn’t stay
Just not the shape they made her play

She’s got her hands, but they wanted wings
Her silent words, but they wanted to sing
Kept telling her to fall in line
But she left their world behind

They wanted a star, shining so bright
But she’s just a girl, lost in the night
She tried to fit, but couldn’t stay
Just not the shape they made her play

She’s got her hands, but they wanted wings
Her silent words, but they wanted to sing
Kept telling her to fall in line
But she left their world behind

They wanted a star, shining so bright
But she’s just a girl, lost in the night
She tried to fit, but couldn’t stay
Just not the shape they made her play
They wanted a star, shining so bright
But she’s just a girl, lost in the night
She tried to fit, but couldn’t stay
Just not the shape they made her play

Wanted a star, but got a spark
She found her way out of the dark
She’s just herself, a voice unknown
Not what they wanted, but her own

Wanted a star, but got a spark
She found her way out of the dark
She’s just herself, a voice unknown
Not what they wanted, but her own

Wanted a star, but got a spark
She found her way out of the dark
She’s just herself, a voice unknown
Not what they wanted, but her own
