Words & Music by Lindsey D. Appleton
Intro:
Verse 1: What is beyond the universe? What is out there, what
is beyond my reach? We are so caught up in the world we need
to look beyond into the infinite nothing.
Chorus:
If I were a star I’d shine the brightest
you’ve ever seen. I’d shine so bright I’d never get hidden behind
the clouds. If I had the chance to be bigger than the moon -
I would take it and put it in my pocket for a safe reminder
there’s more out there.
Verse 2: What is beyond the galaxy?
Can I see it, can I touch it? What is out there? I look at the
flowers in my backyard, are there stars shaped like that? Can
there be a world made out of gold? Or a star that is pink and
green?

Interlude:
Bridge:
A star lasts forever. It has seen
more than we could ever know. I would like to see at least for
one day what stars see. Can they see me looking at them in the
dead of night? Does the big dipper serve a planet’s feast? Can
we really be sure of what’s out there?
Chorus:
If I were a star I’d shine the brightest you’ve
ever seen. I’d shine so bright I’d never get hidden behind the
clouds. If I had the chance to be bigger than the moon - I would
take it and put it in my pocket for a safe reminder there’s
more out there. If I could see beyond. If I could shine. If
I could see beyond. Beyond.
