Notes: I wrote this song about Hannah’s waitressing jobs. I worked in that industry for many years, so I could really relate. I also love how everyone talked about how vivacious, fearless, complicated, compassionate and hilarious she was. I picture her waiting tables and then just jumping on them and showing her real self to her customers! I named it "STAR" because, from what I heard about her, she shined bright and burned hot like a star, and she is now a star child...like Bowie… - Suzanne Slade
All proceeds go to the Education Fund for Hannah's daughter, Athena.
lyrics
Water to table 6
Check to table 3
Extra ranch to the tourists
Damn, I have to pee
Smile as they change their order
Laugh at a stupid joke
Water to table 6
Hear a cough, hear a choke
But no one here
Knows who I am
I am more than this
I am bigger, I’m a star
A star shining bright above
And no one cares
How far I’ve come
But I know and that’s all I need
I’m stronger and wise
Cause I’m a star
Shining bright
Shooting fast
Can’t be stopped
Can’t hold me down
I burn bright, I burn hard
Cause I’m a star
Shining high
Light the night
Watch me soar
Can’t hold me down
I burn bright
I’m a star
Thank you,
come again
Hey man,
forget to tip?
My feet hurt
My back is numb
Two for dinner?
Does anyone
have an Advil?
Shit, water to table 6
Check to table 5?
Or mayo to table 5
But no one here
Knows just who I am
I am more than this
I am bigger, I’m a star
A star shining bright above
And no one cares
How far I’ve come
But I know and that’s all I need
I’m stronger, I’m wiser
I just rise above it all
Cause I’m a star
Shining bright
Shooting fast
Can’t be stopped
Can’t hold me down
I burn bright, I burn hard
Cause I’m a star
Shining high
Light the night
Watch me soar
Can’t hold me down
I burn bright
I’m a star
Thank you, come again
Thank you, come again
Thank you, come again
I’m sorry
KITCHEN’S CLOSED!
Cause I’m a star
Shining bright
Shooting fast
Can’t be stopped
Can’t hold me down
I burn bright, I burn hard
Cause I’m a star
Shining high
Light the night
Watch me soar
Can’t hold me down
I burn bright
