TLC – A Star Is Born lyrics

[Intro:]

I Believe...
When someone passes away...
Either a star is born,
Energy so pure,
That it creates new worlds...
Or as the soul releases,
Shatters into peices,
Becoming free flowing thoughts,
From a mental thesis...
Maybe we just don't understand,
Spirits, can still walk the land,
Or whatever the case, I believe,
That we all still remain to share the same space...

(Lisa Lopes)

So dad, I know your listenin',
How have you been?
Oh I'm doin' fine.
Just passin' time
Submerge to the sea,
Every time I take a bath,
I jus' get all dirty again,
Tryin' to cleanse my mind,
Cleanse my soul,
And get in... Into that place you've been,
Noo, I'm not trying to rush anything,
Just wanna visit you,
Because I miss you,
So whatchu tryin' to say?
My imaginations been wild,
Since I've been a child,
Since you laughing now,
I'm taking it good things are happening again.

[Chorus:]

The day I learned you were born,
A new star is born, new star, new star, is born
Listen, Voices fill my mind,
Say to look up in the sky,
When I did, there you were.

(Lisa Lopes)

Well, I'm sure you already know this,
I'm a big pop star,
And my pop is a star, (hm, hm)
You know you really are,
Sometimes I feel like I'm aimless,
I kinda made you a little famous,
Always spilling my guts,
Explainin' to these people,
Who think I'm nuts.
I told 'em how you and moms,
Prenuppled up, My excuse you were such a disrupt,
Yeah, They sure did, They called you an abusive drunk,
Sorry, Didn't relize, The Media could run with it,
But now I know and,
Sometimes I try to have fun with it,

[Chorus:]

The Day I learned you were born,
A new star is born, a new star, a new star, is born,
Listen, Voices fill my mind,
Say to look up in the sky,
And when I did, There you were.

(Lisa Lopes)

What did you say?
You wish to be free?
Been here all this time, Because of me?
And on August 16,
2001, everything that I wish to release, release.
I see... First of all, I give you my thanks for preparing me,
To be open and free,
I release my mind, release my soul,
Release the curse, Break the mold,
Release my record, 20 million sold,
And release my pops your free to go,
And create a new galaxy,
Yes dad, you'll still be right next to me.

[Chorus:]

The day I learned you were born,
A new star is born, new star, new star, is born
Listen, Voices fill my mind,
Say to look up in the sky,
And when I did, there you were.
(Repeat twice)
A new star is born.
