A Million Stars
If I am you, and you are me
Then I know the world will see
that I was weak
but now I’m strong
This will be a different song
So here I am
The better man
not the one you thought I am
and here we are, not the same
’cause tonight I win this game
So hold me tight
’cause a million stars could die tonight
and when they’re gone
there’ll be nothing for you to wish upon
a million stars depend on us tonight
I count on you
You count on me
Just this one please let it be.
And catch me if I’m falling down
One last chance to wear this crown
There’s nothing left for me to say
Dreams come true if we pray
I’m reaching for the milky way
A superstar is born today
So hold me tight
’cause a million stars could die tonight
and when they’re gone
There’ll be nothing for you to wish upon
A million stars depend on us tonight.
