Breathe in the night
Let it know just who you are
How you wish the weight of the world
Would unleash your shooting star

Look up at the night
Have you seen that star before?
How quickly dreams rearrange
when constellations are at war.

Hey, lone star it's all right
Did you look up to find you were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade out?

Have you been let down
by a love, a father, a friend?
Did the myth of greatness
leave your side
with no desire to defend?
Did the chariots of fire
Burn you in the end?

Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade?
Did the one you love
Cradle you up above?
Will your heroes and stars play?

[guitar break]

Breathe in the night
let it know just who you are.
There's still a girl inside of you,
connecting star to star.
I'm glad to see you're taking flight.
I'll spot the brightest one.
So breathe, breathe, breathe in the night
Your journey's just begun.

Did you look up to find
You were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade?
Did the one you love
Cradle you up above?
Will your heroes and stars play?

You're a lullaby for the Texas sky tonight
your heroes and stars are bright.
So hey lone star there you are
shining bright in the dark.
Don't wait for your heroes and stars
to save your day.
