(Ronnie James Dio)
Who cries for the children?
I do.

(Dave Meniketti)
Some time in the night
When you're feeling the cold

(Ronnie James Dio)
Take a look at the sky
above you

(Rob Halford)
Those are faces in the light
If the story were told

(Ronnie James Dio)
They are calling you, calling you
We are magic in the night

(Kevin DuBrow)
We are shadow we are light

(Dave Meniketti)
We are forever you and I

CHORUS☆

We're stars.

(Rob Halford)
We're stars.

(Eric Bloom)
We can be strong
We are fire and stone

(Paul Shortino)
And we all want to touch a rainbow

(Geoff Tate)
But singers and songs
Will never change it alone
So we are calling you, calling you.

(Don Dokken)
We're the beating of a heart
The beginning, we're the start

(Paul Shortio)
Forever we will shine.

CHORUS ☆
We 're Stars

GUITAR SOLOS ~

(Kevin DuBrow)
