Based on a short children's story by my friend Grant Geitner. Written after drinking too much cheap whiskey while he went out to get Taco Bell
lyrics
There once was a star
who was different from the other stars
This star had many colors
and was teased for being different
All alone she wanted to be normal
but she was different she was different she was different
The other stars would shun her
from star games and star parties
cause rainbow stars were said to be
bad by society
But we all shine in different spectrums
different spectrums different spectrums
We all shine in different spectrums different spectrums
The rainbow star, she hid
her colors in the shadows,
wondering why is it so wrong
to shine in multicolored shades?
She cried and cursed the cruelty of the cosmos
for creating her so different
She was different, she was different
When asked if she could play
All the stars laughed in her face
Throwing rocks and calling names
Til bruised and hurt she ran away
But we all shine in different spectrums
different spectrums different spectrums
We all shine in different spectrums different spectrums
Wandering through the galaxy alone
She was light years from her home
And she cried until the tears defused her glow
Til a cluster came her way
Many stars in many shades
And they took her to a place
Where it was safe to radiate
And she could shine in different spectrums
Different spectrums different spectrums
Cause we all shine in different spectrums different spectrums
And you can be hydrogen, helium, uranium, or copper
You can burn bright in the sky like holly and the bopper
And don't hesitate to radiate
and spark up the love and stomp out the hate
And shine in different spectrums different spectrums different spectrums
We all shine in different spectrums different spectrums
