[Kelis:]
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
If it seems like I'm shining
It's probably a reflection of something you already are
I forget about myself some time when there's so many others around
When deep inside you feels darkest, that is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found
[Cee-Lo:]
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
'Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
And you sure look like a star to me
[Kelis:]
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
If you try to reach out and touch me
You'll see that I'm not really that far
Oh, I may not be the brightest, nor am I the last one you'll see
But as long as you notice, that's just fine with me
Everything's just fine with me
Everything's just fine with me
[Cee-Lo:]
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
'Cause in the dark of the night you're all I can see
And you sure look like a star to me
[Kelis:]
There is nothing special about me
I am just a little star
I've been running and jumping
But barely getting, getting over the bar
I plan on being much more than I am but that's in do time
But until then I'm guilty, and being human's my crime
Being human that is my crime
Being human that is my crime
[Cee-Lo:]
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let it stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring

That is where I can always be found
That is where I can always be found
