Shooting Star Whole World's Watching Lyrics

love we hold like a flower
in the snow
it is the nectar of laughter in the eyes
of young and old
while they're passing thru each phase
and struggling day by day
but somehow don't feel they're in
the spotlight of the stage but
look up
the whole world's watching
every step of the way look up
the whole world's watching
waiting out the rain

and lovers peer on blue skies
crystal clear
but scarred by the dreams that
we've allowed to disappear
like people who face closed doors
and the millions lost at war
the lonely the destitute and oh
so many more look up
the whole world's watching every step of the way look up
the whole world's watching
waiting out the rain
every step of the way

america confused and
sometimes torn
somewhere in heaven lies the refuge
from the storm
but leaders drown in the rain
forgetting all their shame
neglecting us all entangled playing
all the games look up
the whole world's watching
every step that you take look up
the whole world's watching
waiting out the rain
every step that you take every
step of the way
