Each line in the song reads as if it is a piece of advice an adult would give a child. Many lines are common idioms that children often hear from their parents.
[Verse 1]
Keep your head up
Try to listen to your heart
Be kind always no matter
We all grow up
And someday we'll say goodbye
So shine your light while you got one
[Chorus]
Make the most of what you got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head, fill up your heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
[Instrumental]
[Post-Chorus]
Once proud, just once so take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head, fill up your heart, 'cause that's all we got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
[Verse 2]
Through your window
That's one way to see the world
Step outside and look back into
Look and listen
And you decide what you believe
Shine your light while you got one
[Chorus]
And make the most of what you've got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head, fill up your heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not
[Outro]
That's not a star, that's a satellite
Stepping out, stepping out
That's not a star, that's a satellite
That's not a star, that's a satellite
That's not a star, that's a satellite
