Lyrics[]
A language I don’t understand
You speak, I listen, I’m your friend
(You hypnotize me)
Take my hand
A million faces tied in chains
You ride a black horse in the rain
(You hypnotize me)
Don’t escape
No more, no more, no more, no more
‘Cause we are all
Made of stars
Silver fragments falling
We are made of stars
We are made of stars
Searching for that secret promise
Made of stars
You heal me, you feel me
Ignite a flame within me
(You hypnotize me) Mmm…
I’m begging you, don’t escape
No more, no more, no more, no more
‘Cause we are all
Made of stars
Silver fragments falling
We are made of stars
We are made of stars
Searching for that secret promise
Made of stars
Tell me that you understand
Come in close and take my hand
Let’s float across the sky
Like there’s no floor and there’s no ceiling
And dance with me like we are made of stars
‘Cause we are (‘Cause we are)
‘Cause we are (‘Cause we are)
We are, we are, we are
We are made of stars
Silver fragments falling
We are made of star
We are made of stars
Searching for that secret promise
Made of stars
Dance with me like we are made of stars
Dance with me like we are made of stars
