I Am The Starlight
[Verse 1]
Only you have the power within you
Just believe in yourself
The sea will part before you
Stop the rain and turn the tide
[Verse 2]
If only you use the power within you
Needn't beg the world
To turn around and help you
If you draw on what you have within you
Somewhere deep inside
[Verse 3]
Starlight Express, you must confess
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, please answer me yes
I don't want you to go
[Bridge]
Rusty, you're blind, look in your mind
I'm there, nothing's new
The Starlight Express is no more, no less
Than you, Rusty, I am you
I'm you and only you
[Verse 4]
I am the Starlight
(Have the power within you)
I can achieve anything
(Just believe in yourself)
(The sea will part before you)
(Stop the rain and turn the tide)
All the things I didn't believe I could do
[Verse 5]
(If only you use the power within you)
I am the Starlight, I can see it through
Need not beg the world
To turn around and help you
If you draw on what is deep inside
