Shooting Star


 Written byAlan Menken & David Zippel / Hercules: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack [UK Edition] in 1997



No one seems to think
Too much of me here
And they’re glad
To tell it to my face
And though I am not supposed
To be here
I’m completely out of place
Somehow there has got
To be a reason
Even 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
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows
He doesn’t quite fit in
And he’s longing
To know why, why



I feel so much bette
When it’s night-time
That’s when
I can sort of disappear
When the sun is set
And it’s the right time
For pretending I’m not here
Sometimes I just stare
Into the heavens
Wondering if the answer is inside
That’s when I see the light


Of my steadfast shooting star
On his way to who knows where
He’s so unlike all the stars
He outshines up there
And the solitary star
Is an awful lot like me
On an endless search
Through time and space
Far a place that won’t seem wrong


If we both hang on
For long enough
We both somehow
Are strong enough
We’ll find out where we belong


Every night this shooting star
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows
He doesn’t quit fit in
And he’s longing to know why
Know why
Why
Why
Know why











There’s a blog post for this song.
