Everything’s so small when you’re on top of the world
It’s hard to understand what’s still yet to unfold
Pretending to be who you’re not is a waste of what you’ve got
Keep dreaming, keep dreaming, keep dreaming
Keep on, keep believing

We are the kings and queens of hearts that break
We may fall in between the cracks
Living life like it’s just a game of blackjack
I don’t know how but we always find our way back

Looking back when I was just a little girl
With a big dream living in a lonely world
It seems life is impossible
So believe that you‘re unstoppable, hey!

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are into loving

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are built for loving

O-o-oh oh oh oh oh
O-o-oh oh oh oh oh oh [x4]

It’s hard to see the light when you’re caught up in your life
You’re scared and insecure ’cause now it’s fight or flight
Can’t think of giving up
You don’t know how much you’re loved
Keep dreaming, keep dreaming, keep dreaming
Keep on, keep believing

We are the kings and queens of hearts that break
We may fall in between the cracks
Living life like it’s just a game of blackjack
I don’t know how but we always find our way back

Looking back when I was just a little girl
With a big dream living in a lonely world
It seems life is impossible
So believe that you‘re unstoppable, hey!

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are into loving

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are built for loving

O-o-oh oh oh oh oh
O-o-oh oh oh oh oh oh [x4]

We are stars, we are stars, we are stars, we are stars

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are into loving

We are stars and
We are open-hearted
We are lovers
We are built for loving

O-o-oh oh oh oh oh
O-o-oh oh oh oh oh oh [x4]
