"Power On, Little Star" lyrics - MARIA MCKEE

Power on with your dying breath
Power on, no regret
With the fuse that was lit
By the breaking of your spirit
Power on, don't quit

And the things that made you
Want to trade in your heart
Are the very things that
Made you who you are
Power on, little star

Power on til you know yourself
From the voices in your head
From the bruises and welts
Power on, like hell

And if you only make it one more day
Well it's one more day
Than you threw away
Power on, anyway

And though you may never make a mark
Or live your dream
Well at least you may live
To make peace with the memories and defeat

With a heart that will be slashed
And your dreams that will be dashed
Like a weather stain
Like a sad refrain
Power on, my little babe

When your heart's so big not tough

Takes a hit straight to the gut
Like a record stuck
Like a wagon rut
Power on, my little buck

And the things that made you
Want to trade in your heart
Are the very things that
Made you who you are
Power on, little star

With your heart that will be slashed
And your dreams that will be dashed
Like a weather stain
Like a sad refrain
Power on

When your heart's so big not tough
Takes a hit straight to the gut
Like a record stuck
Like a wagon rut
Power on

La la la la la la la [Repeat]
Power on

La la la la la la la [Repeat]
Power on

La la la la la la la [Repeat]
Power on
