A BRAND NEW STAR
VERSE 1) Through the mist the morning sun is rising,
she dives in to the deep end of the pool.
three more laps, her mother sits there waiting
to drive her future champion to school.
(CLIMB) They knows she’s not there yet, its gonna take some time,
her goals are high, to reach the top, she’s gotta make the climb,
(CHORUS) She’s a rainbow, painting in her colors,
a marching band starting to align,
the first few measures of a symphony,
an unrealized epiphany,
She’s a star, learning how to shine.
She’s a brand new star, learning how to shine.
(VERSE 2) A thousand miles of laps across the water,
stroke by stroke, ‘til every muscle aches,
years and years of sheer determination
to show herself that she has what it takes
(CLIMB) to soar above the mountains, to stretch her wings and fly,
to be the biggest, brightest shooting star to cross the sky.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE) Every dream has a beginning, Every journey has a start,
Every triumph was a challenge born down deep in someone’s heart...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
