He gets up
in the darkness
And he calls out,
where am I?
He looks down from the heavens
And he's tired of the sky
Five hundred
lonely years ago He shone blue and bright
And it's killing him to know
That you're seeing it tonight
In his room no one blesses He undresses his award
To the moon he confesses He's gone down there for sure
A star
is born
Yes, a star is born
He's dreaming in the valley And he's shaking in the stream
He's shining in the alley And they're kissing his golden feet
They ask him, are you famous?
You've answered that, you know
Tell him he looks nervous He says,
you look too close
A star is born Yes, a star is born
In the place where he's staying He shoves his dinner in the hall
The number that he's dialing
He don't really want to call
He gets down and starts praying Like they taught him to the wall
Oh, Lord
A star is born Yes, a star is born
They're waiting
in the darkness And they call out,
where am I?
