Story behind the song
Isn't it weird how buying a new gadget or whatever only makes us happy temporarily? And as soon as the novelty wears off, it's time to buy another. So what is it that will really make us happy? Don't let your possessions own you...
Lyrics
I got a picture, a pretty picture
I hold it in my mind
If we can see it and really feel it
Who knows what we might find?
I got a feeling - a real good feeling
I think it might come true
We need a vision and a decision
What counts is me and you
Don't let possessions own you
They'll suck the living soul from you
Don't let anything change what you are
Don't let your fears control you
They're just the smallest part of you
And now you're going to travel far
Just follow your star
I got a new dream, it's my new scheme
I hold it in my heart
If we could dare it then we can share it
Let everyone take part
It's my intention - so pay attention
I need to make a mark
You need the night to see starlight
So don't be scared of the dark
Don't let possessions own you
They'll suck the living soul from you
Don't let anything change what you are
Don't let your fears control you
They're just a part of the old you
And now you're going to travel far
Just follow your star
Take a walk outside one night and look up to the sky
A thousand points of light up there to greet your searching eye
Millions of galaxies with millions of stars
I think that you should pick one out
I say without a doubt that's what you are
Don't let possessions own you
They'll suck the living soul from you
Don't let anything change what you are
Don't let your fears control you
They're just a part of the old you
And now you're going to travel far
Just follow your star
I got a feeling
I got a feeling, a real good feeling
