Shine on, my little star
I know what you are
Time is on your side
So shine on in the night

How much longer must I wait
Until I cast my shell away?
And I spread my golden wings and I fly away?
We’ll be flyin’, baby

Somewhere there’s a hole in the sky, yeah
Where angels fly and slide down rainbows
Somewhere there’s a place for us
Ooh, that has no cross nor bridges

Shine on, oh little star
I can see you from here on Mars
Limestones all in line
We’ll solve the mystery of space and time

So climb on
Infinity
