You can be a star, you can be a star, you can be a star... You've got the greatest gift in the world Just believe and you can do it, oh girl As a little girl there were so many things I wanted to be The big stage, the attention of the crowd Had always inspired me So every night when I knelt down to pray I asked the Lord to make me a star one day Then a voice said... You can be a star, you can be a star, you can be a star You can be a star, a star... You've got the greatest gift in the world Just believe and you can do it, oh girl As time went on, I let doubt get the best of me Saying, "You're just a country girl and being a star is only in your dreams" That night, my mama sat me down to say "Have faith, the world will know who you are one day" She told me... You can be a star, you can be a star, you can be a star You can be a star, a star... You've got the greatest gift in the world Just believe and you can do it, oh girl Is it worth it? (I don't know) That life isn't perfect (I don't know) Things could get worse if you become a star Is it worth it? (tell me) That life isn't perfect (let me know) Things could get worse if you become a star (if I become a star...) So many broken promises in writing to the top Expectations of who I should be changed how I see this industry So I learned follow my heart and go with my soul Stay true to me, and never lose sight of my goals And remember what I was told... You can be a star, you can be a star, you can be a star You can be a star, a star... You've got the greatest gift in the world Just believe and you can do it, oh girl
