Lyrics (Patricia Graham & John C. Cameron)
I am like a star shining brightly shining for the whole world to see
I can do and say happy things each day for I know Heavenly Father loves me
Verse 1
Ev’ry star is diff’rent, And so is ev’ry child.
Some are bright and happy, And some are meek and mild.
Ev’ry one is needed For just what he can do.
You’re the only person Who ever can be you.
Chorus:
A shining star, shining brightly, Not so very far, shining brightly; Be a shining star.
Shine so brightly; Shine right where you are!
Verse 2
I can shine for others And let them feel my love,
Follow the commandments That come from God above.
I can help another To learn to choose the right.
Having faith and courage Will let my star shine bright.
Monica, I have been wanting to put these two songs together for many years. Thank you. You are so inspired
-Kelly
Brilliant, such a beautiful message and great mashup!
