Look for a Star
Find Hope in the Night Sky: Unveiling the Meaning of 'Look for a Star'
Lyrics
When life doesn't seem worth the living
Expressing a feeling that life lacks value or purpose.
And you don't really care who you are
Indifference to one's identity or self-worth.
When you feel there is no one beside you
Feeling isolated with a perception of having no one around.
Look for a star
Suggesting the remedy of seeking hope or guidance represented by a star.
When you know you're alone and so lonely
Acknowledging loneliness and solitude.
And your friends have traveled afar
Friends being distant or unavailable.
There is someone waiting to guide you
Encouraging the idea that someone is available to offer guidance.
Look for a star
Reiterating the advice to seek hope or guidance symbolized by a star.
Oh, everyone has a lucky star
Highlighting the concept that everyone possesses a fortunate symbol.
That shines in the sky up above
Describing the lucky star as an element in the sky.
If you wish on a lucky star
Suggesting making a wish upon the fortunate star.
You're sure to find someone to love
Ensuring finding love by wishing upon the lucky star.
A rich man man, a poor man, a beggar
Regardless of social status (rich, poor, beggar), the message is applicable.
No matter whoever you are
Emphasizing that the guidance is available for anyone.
There's a friend who's waiting to guide you
Reinforcing the idea of a friend waiting to guide, echoing earlier lines.
Look for a star
Reiterating the advice to seek hope or guidance symbolized by a star.
A rich man, a poor man, a beggar
Repetition of the idea that social status doesn't matter in seeking guidance.
No matter whoever you are
Emphasizing the universality of the message.
There's a friend who's waiting to guide you
Restating the presence of a friend waiting to guide, echoing earlier lines.
Look for a star
Reiterating the advice to seek hope or guidance symbolized by a star.
