[Verse 1: Peter Maffay]
I gave up all illusions, facin' truth and reality
But I guess that this was too much, much too much to take for me
Now I’m travellin' through confusion, nothin' there that I could change
I was just a young believer, boy, this old world sure is strange

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Soon it will be over, dear
And we’ll be all comin' near
But still way out too far
See a star

[Verse 2: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
I wipe the night out of my eyes, I can still hear the lies
That we're told, goin' through the other days
It's getting light very late and dark much too soon
Now my life won't let me sleep, I gotta stay

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Soon it will be over, dear
And we'll be all comin' near
But still way out too far
See a star

[Verse 3: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
So many thoughts in my mind, the right words I try to find
I write ’em fast to catch some as they’re passing me
Still I think that you should hear it, even knowing many fear it
Give me hope that in the end we can agree
[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Soon it will be over, dear
And we'll be all comin’ near
But still way out too far
See a star
You don't want to be here
But when you'll see it clear
Out our window tonight
You'll be alright

[Bridge: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
See a star and you’ll be alright (See a star all night)
(See a star all night) see a star and you'll be alright (See a star all night)
All night, all night (See a star all night)

[Verse 4: Peter Maffay]
Living on this natural spaceship, planet Earth
Milky Way swimming pool, Oceanus
Change filters, man
Keep your course, follow the sun

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Soon it will be over, dear
And we'll be all comin' near
But still way out too far
See a star
You don't want to be here
But when you'll see it clear
Out our window tonight
You'll be alright
See a star
