Child Star - Marc Almond

Lost little child star

You stand on the stage

Your head in your hands

While you cry

You feel so afraid

That your beauty will fade

Into the indigo sky

Glamorous, beautiful, tragic and doomed

Always someone new close behind

All those tears, or just nails

Which harden your heart

What will I find when I look in your eyes?

I’ll find that beauty is all in your mind

We grow and we bloom

Our glow fills the room

And we spend our short times

In the sun

But like the leaves in autumn

We fall to the ground

Spent… too young

I’m lost like you’re lost

I’m in need of your shine

I’m unsure of the world just like you

Child star, oh child star

Look inside your heart

For beauty, oh beauty is you

Oh beauty, oh beauty

Is you
