She picked up her bags and she
Briskly strode across the terminal
She picked up the paper and began to read her horoscope
"Why do I feel so...so afraid?" she asked herself as she downed her
Non-fat caramel macchiato
This wasn't the first time she left for fear of becoming stagnant
This time felt certain she knew that she should act upon
"I don't know when I felt so alive," she told herself as she sat thеre
Wishing she could die
Shе'd like to blame the macchiato for her feeling of dread
She didn't know what to expect when she got out of bed
Despite her fears she knew she'd finally found her drive
'Cause uncertainty, instability are the things that make her thrive
Don't be a stranger, don't let yourself believe
You are someone that you didn't want to be
Know that you're stronger than anyone could know
You are someone that you worked so hard to be
She went through her purse and she
Found two smelly empty matchbooks
She found her cigarettes and thought about stepping out for a smoke
"I can't believe that I'm gonna go," she told
Herself that her doubts and fears would be her only foe
She felt so alone in the echoes of the airport speakers
She looked in the mirror of her compact with the broken hinges
"Do I know who I'm going to be?" said the woman in the mirror
To the new girl to be
She opened up the daily paper, the astrology section
Quickly scanned it all for Pisces, for some introspection
And then she threw the paper on the floor, to her own surprise
She said, "I don't believe in astrology, leave that for the Geminis!"
Don't be a stranger, don't let yourself believe
You are someone that you didn't want to be
Know that you're stronger than anyone could know
You are someone that you worked so hard to be
She often told herself she'd make it somewhere, somehow, someday
Just how and where and when depended on her mood that day
"I could fall back into my bed," but she knows she made it
This far, she'd sleep somewhere else instead
She clutched her boarding pass and found her tiny place in line
She double triple checked her ticket that she'd been assigned
"Why do I feel so...so at home?" 'cause her home was
Where her purse was living in the great unknown
She took a glance out through the window at the blinking jetplane
Against the crystal clear night sky and uncongested airlanes
She felt the distance in the twinkling lights shining from afar
No matter where she ended up, she knew she'd be a star
Don't be a stranger, don't let yourself believe
You are someone that you didn't want to be
Know that you're stronger than anyone could know
You are someone that you worked so hard to be
Don't be a stranger, never forget your name
You will always be what other people see
Know that you're stronger than you ever were before
Don't forget you'll always be a star to me
