Lyrics
Point the gold stars out one by one
Show me the good that you’ve done
Then turn me around
I’ll close my eyes and let you make me dizzy
Talk up all the things that make you
Feel proud of the work you do
Then turn me around
I’ll close my eyes and let the world slide
It’s a safe place
It’s a safe space
You’re safe to shine
No one here to make you fear
The other ball
The other shoe
The switch
The trick
The laugh when you leave the room
Tell me about the time you tried
Something scary and a little unwise
Did it pay ok so big?
Or did you fall so hard you thought you’d die?
You should know I’m just like you
Afraid to dream and want things too
But hunger and thirst
Are in us just to help us survive
