Bigger Than a Star
Alexandra Galarza
Don‟t be afraid to put your hand right into the light.
Your wrist will shine and just in time,
You‟ll notice gleams, so bright.
Never say a planet will always be bigger than a star.
At different angles, you know you can shine.
That‟s just how you are.
You‟re tough on the surface, just like a rare stone.
But when nobody‟s looking to buy you,
You immediately start to feel alone.
Never say a planet will always be bigger than a star.
I know, deep down, you‟re like a comet.
You can soar right by and never take the time,
To realize how much light you really do shine.
