[Verse 1] I saw you in the yard With pockets full of dust You said you had a plan And I believed you, yes You held a paper moon You wore a cardboard crown You drew a path of dots Across the playground ground [Pre-Chorus] And when you laughed The sky leaned near Like it wanted To hear you cheer [Chorus] Man of stars Man of stars You light the dark Man of stars Man of stars Man of stars You make me brave Man of stars [Verse 2] You built a rocket ship Out of a laundry box You gave the dog a seat And counted all the socks You said, “We’re headed up Past the kites and trees” Then you spun in circles Till we both fell to our knees [Pre-Chorus] And when you smiled The whole world knew There’s a little moon Inside of you [Chorus] Man of stars Man of stars You light the dark Man of stars Man of stars Man of stars You make me brave Man of stars [Bridge] If I get scared You take my hand You point to planets I can understand You say, “Keep going That’s where dreams start” Then you tap your chest And I see stars [Final Chorus] Man of stars Man of stars You light the dark Man of stars Man of stars Man of stars You make me brave Man of stars Man of stars Man of stars You light the dark Man of stars
