a small town girl with big time dreams

but nothing's ever as it seems


a mother waves her girl goodbye


then slowly hangs her head and cries

hollywood hills and the big city lights


outside her window they burn bright


someday the world will praise her fame

they'll know her face they'll shout her name





pre-chorus

they'll shout it real load


she'll make her mama real proud


she'll stand about the crowd

Chorus


i am someone


look what i've done

stare into the sun


i am a shooting star


i am something

i am someone


look what i have done


i am a shooting star




she looks down at the stars lying on the streets


says to herself "that will be me"

a big time dream a small town mind


searching for a break she may never find


streets of gold they turned to gray

just one more chance just one more day


someday that world will know this face


she swears they'll never fall from grace




they'll shout it real loud


she'll make her mama real proud

she'll stand about the crowd


and shout


chorus (solo)




she stand out on the streets in the pouring rain

strangers walk by they don't know her name


as the silver screen slowly fades to black

she'll never give in she can never go back




chorus




someday you'll see me

don't you need me

everybody will believe me


i am a shooting star



i will stand strong


i will hold on

it's not my last song

i am a shooting star
