You're burning way off course
Shooting out into the distant darkness
Losing your own source
leaving the One who really loves you
Determined to be the sun aboveyou

Though your light for now is brighter than
All the stars around
It will be a short-lived reign of glory
Like a throne without a crown
Falling to earth in flames of splendor
Feeling the pull of someone greater

You can't hide it
No matter who you are
You can't fight it
When you're falling like a star
Falling star, falling star

When you realize your fate of falling
Notice who you are
You're a precious part of morning glory
From the heart of a brighter star
Leaving the One who really loves you
Determined to be the sun above you

You can't hide it
No matter who you are
You can't fight it
When you're falling like a star
Falling star, falling star
