This Song Rock's. Your a shining star,(Your all made out of star stuff) no matter who you are. Shining bright to see, what you could truly be. Now that make's more sense then what I heard in the Christian bible. Elements of the world-Rock!!

Indeed. The phrase "You're a shining star" also has occult significance. If im not mistaken, its a paraphrase of what Aleister Crowley used to say. It needs to be investigated.

yeah nuts when you realise it all.. crazy.. water fire breath 3 pillars of masonic kabbalah.. the gyonum.. wonder what they had to do wiuth this.. prob their record company boses were masons/jews.. just making a observation. i dont hate jews btw lol.. eye of ra, symbloic mayhem lol
Man they dont make records like this anymore..This is tha shitz man!!! if this funk jam dont make you wanna dance then nuthin will...this is more funky than their later stuff but no less danceable..!!
Yeah this song has everything for the listener. Rock, Funk, Soul...It's hard to put this song in a category. It hit's me everytime it comes on. EWF made songs that make you feel powerful!!!
There are so many different versions!But I think this might be it: Shining star come into view To shine its watchful light on you,yeah Give you strength to carry on,yeah Girl, make your body big and strong,yeah Born a man-child of the sun,yeah Yeah,saw my work had just begun Yeah,Found I had to stand alone,yeah Well bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah So if you find yourself in need Why dontcha listen to these worlds of heed Be a giant,grain of sand Words of wisdom- Yes, I can
Thanks! Of all the different versions I've looked up, that version makes the most sense. I love this song, I just wish Earth Wind and Fire had crisper diction! And as I say that, I realize what a dork I am.
