Someday, someone will tell you to make yourself smaller,
To make them comfortable...
I hope they are ready,
Ready to meet the girl I raised.
My star girl,
I watch you everyday,
And I wonder at the marvel you are becoming.
You carry laughter like the wind, baby,
Fiercely wild and free.
My darling girl,
You don't need battery, you don't need wire to play,
You carry your own voltage, inside you.
My unstoppable girl, you are a force,
You don't need a tunnel to find your way,
You are the glow that turns dark to day.
So stand tall, my love, never shrink your space,
Make the whole world stop when you walk in the place.
And on the days you feel loved less,
I will love you twice as much, twice as much.
Go where I only dreamed to go,
Be brave enough to say no,
Never trade your wings for a cage, oh no.
Love yourself with all your heart,
Know your worth right from the start.
And when your own strength feels far away,
My arms are yours, always yours.
They will try to dim your light, let them try,
They will try to hush your voice, let them try,
But you were born to take up space,
You were born to take up space.
So fly, my baby, spread your wings,
You were born to do amazing things.
If you ever lose your way,
My love will be your home always.
Shine, my baby, near or far,
Forever loved, my little star,
My little star.
My little star.
