[Verse 1]
When I was an infant in my mothers arms
I would watch the starlight in her face
'Cause I was reaching out to understand the cosmic charm
I am just a starchild born in space
[Chorus]
Way up high above the sky all that beauty passes by
Whole worlds still unknown
And out beyond the blue there's a place for people too
It's time for us to go
[Verse 2]
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I have been there, I have seen it
Everywhere space people stare through ageless eyes
I have seen them, I believe it
[Chorus]
Way up high above the sky all that beauty passes by
Whole worlds still unknown
And out beyond the blue there's a place for people too
It's time for us to go
[Bridge]
We have time (In my dreams)
Time and space
While we're young (Floating free)
We can chase
The stars
[Verse 3]
Searching for the magic in the universe
Guided by the stars that light my way
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I am just a starchild born in space
[Verse 4]
If you want to go with me I'll take you there
I've been shown these secrets face to face
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I am just a starchild born in space
