We’ll Be the Stars Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are young, we are gold
Trying things we didn't know
Looking at the sky
See it come alive
All our fears became our hopes
Climbed out every locked window
We rode a lion's mane
And fell upon the rain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We can reach the constellations
Trust me, all our dreams are breaking out

[Chorus]
No, we're never gonna turn to dust
Yeah, all we really need is us
Don't be scared to close your eyes
No, we're never gonna die
We'll be the stars, oh
No, we're never gonna step too far
Yeah, we're holding on to who we are
When it's time to close your eyes
They will see us in the sky
We'll be the stars
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars

[Verse 2]
Let me in
Hold me close
Fill my heart with simple notes
So when it's hard to see
They are there reminding me
Take my breath
And hold me high
So I can feel the city lights
Glowing under me
It's in our reach

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're breaking out

[Chorus]
No, we're never gonna turn to dust
Yeah, all we really need is us
Don't be scared to close your eyes
No, we're never gonna die
We'll be the stars, oh
No, we're never gonna step too far
Yeah, we're holding on to who we are
When it's time to close your eyes
They will see us in the sky
We'll be the stars
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars

[Bridge]
We can reach the constellations
Trust me, all our dreams are breaking out

[Chorus]
No, we're never gonna turn to dust
All we really need is us
We'll be the stars, oh
No, we're never gonna step too far
Yeah, we're holding on to who we are
When it's time to close your eyes
They will see us in the sky
We'll be the stars

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll be the stars
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah, we'll be the stars

What did Sabrina Carpenter say about "We'll Be the Stars"?
Genius Answer

In an appearance on Radio Disney before the release of the song, Sabrina Carpenter said:

It’s definitely a song about dreams because you look up at the sky and there’s so many possibilities […] The sky’s the limit, you know. You can never go too far. You can never dream too big. No dream is ever too big. That’s definitely a lesson I like to listen to, so I’m very excited for everyone else to hear it.
