Only 'special' children wear a star,
I am noticed near and far.
They have placed a mark over my heart,
I'll wear it proudly from the start.

A star's a reward, so I've been told,
This custom passed on from days of old.
I know all that the star is revealing,
But, I'll try to have a better feeling.
I am a star.

Papa told me to avoid trouble,
Come home from school on the double.
To me the star's yellow is gold,
I'll try not to act so bold

I stand tall and proud
My voice shouts in silence aloud:
"I am a real person still,
No one can break my spirit or will!"
I am a star.
