I see the stars
They cloud my vision
They make me hazy so I cannot see
The ways things are
Or how they should be
If I could only look beyond a star
I see the stars
It's so familiar
The way we all approve the ones we know
But we don't see
The truth behind them
And we're content to watch the show

But nobody's higher
In the Father's eyes
And all our glories come as no surprise
We're getting stronger
But see how weak we are
When we cannot look beyond a star

I see the stars
And miss the sunrise
I strain to see a light that fades away
I search the skies
For stars appearing
But could they ever brighten up my days?
Oh, you know the truth
Does not come easy
It doesn't matter how great you are
The meekest man
Will start to teach you
If you'll only look beyond a star
But nobody's higher
In the Father's eyes
And all our glories come as no surprise
We're getting stronger
But see how weak we are
When we cannot look beyond a star

But nobody's higher
In the Father's eyes
And all our glories come as no surprise
We're getting stronger
But see how weak we are
When we cannot look beyond a star

When you look beyond a star
Makes no difference who you are
