We Are Stardust

They say the best songs write themselves. This one wrote itself in an hour. The seed happened in the car at 8am. Thanks to my iPhone voice to text dictation feature the seed was captured and emailed to me. I walked in to work and at 8:30am opened word and dropped the seed into the document and began writing. At 9:30am I proofread and formatted the song and here it is.

I haven't written a single lyric in two years. 
(proof that every dry spell ends)

This is for everyone who doesn't feel they fit. I was thinking how we are all made of the same stuff. That we are made of stuff from the stars, the heavens, whatever you believe. So we all fit. We all belong somewhere with someone but we have to believe it to see it.

Someone shared this video with me a while back.

Obviously it planted a seed.

Here is the tree.

WE ARE STARDUST

You live your life like a misfit toy

On an island broken and ignored

Hiding scars from vocal blows

Private pain of indignities endured

All you want is looooove, love, love, love, love

Chorus

We all have a little brokenness inside

Something that doesn’t fit

Something that we hide

But we’re all made of stardust, baby

Stardust

Made of stardust

Stardust

You are made of stardust

Shine

You’ve been bullied and terrorized

Hear the whispers, feel the torture

The loneliness is suffocating

Man on TV calls you freak of nature

All you want is looooove love love love love

We all have a little brokenness inside

Something that doesn’t fit

Something that we hide

But we’re all made of stardust baby

Stardust

Made of stardust

Stardust

You are made of stardust

Shine

That pretty face hides a secret shame

Imperfection is all you see

People tell you you’re wonderful

But you know a fraud is all you'll every be (build and continue into bridge)

So you take the beatings

You deserve it

You believe him when he says

that you're just a piece of shit

Well don't believe it! 

What you really are is loooooove looooove loooove looooove

We all have a little brokenness inside

Something that doesn’t fit

Something that we hide

But we’re all made of stardust baby

Stardust

Made of stardust

Stardust

You are made of stardust

Shine

Shine, shine shine shine

We are stardust

We are stardust

Shine shine shine shine shine

We are stardust

You are stardust

shine
