      @@Turismo271 I was born in 1972, and this song brings back a lot of memories even though it was a 1977. This song to me means that you don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to always be number one, but you just be yourself! That is the most important thing that I have learned in my life is that you don’t need to pretend to be something that you’re not or somebody that you’re not, and you should always be that person that you know you can be, because being yourself is the only thing that makes sense. Trying to be somebody else, trying to act like someone else, trying to do things like others do, may not be what you can do.
      This song also means that you don’t have to be the star of the show, you don’t have to be the center of attention all the time, you can be a person who enjoys the show or help someone at the show or help someone with the show, doing that also, can you give a person a lot of good vibes. While I was growing up. There were many things that I could not do because of my disability because of my CP. I couldn’t play basketball, and I couldn’t run like my friends could, but I could run like I could, and there are certain SPORTS that I could play, like I was pitcher on the mound for a kickball game, or whenever they would have me play, they wanted me to play so they would make me permanent pitcher position number one. As I grew older, I got to be able to stand on my own 2 feet with my crutches, and I could kick that thing, almost as hard or maybe even harder than somebody that could run. The only thing is I had to be careful running because I didn’t wanna hurt myself.
      The most important thing is this song tells me that I can be myself, and that’s exactly what I should be. When I talk to somebody, or I tell somebody something I should always be forthright, honest, and upfront, and that way, I don’t have to worry about whether I might’ve told somebody a lie or a half truth or something, and when I present myself to somebody as the person I am, that’s what they get they don’t get some thing that I’m not, and I don’t have to worry about Meeting somebody else’s expectations if I can meet my own.
      . This is not necessarily mean that my friends and family members and other people that inspire me don’t make me feel like I want to push harder because of them being a part of my life. If you have a good friend, or a bunch of good friends, do you want to be like them as much as you can be, and the most important thing is that there are many people in your life, that you deal with, some of them you deal with for very short times, and then they disappear, and you never see them again, while there’s others that you deal with in your life from the time you were born until , the time they die or you die, depending on who dies first. The most important thing is there a people that you can emulate there are people that you can be most like
      Some people have more skills in certain areas than others, some people have to work harder to do the simplest things like maybe kick a ball or throw a baseball or do some thing that would be so simple like my brother, making a layup or my brother ending up doing something special that he can do. The most important thing is that you don’t have to be a person that can do all of this or that, work on what you can do, and not worry about what you can’t do, because everyone else will understand if they are real friends. This song is more like an anthem of friends people that will be there for you, or be there with you, and you don’t have to be a star to be in the show, but you can be a participant in the show or in a persons life. It’s most important that people realize that you don’t have to be perfect, and this type of song inspires me to do the best I can, but it also tells me that admitting that you can’t do it yourself and that you might need help is always an option and it should not be or feel bad because you can’t do something.😊

    Baby come as you are with just your heart
    And I'll take you in
    You're rejected and hurt
    To me you're worth what you have within
    Now I don't need no superstar
    'Cause I'll accept you as you are
    You won't be denied 'cause I'm satisfied
    With the love you inspire
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
    Somebody nobody knows could steal the tune that you want to hear
    So stop your running around
    'Cause now you've found what was cloudy is clear
    Oh honey, there'll be no cheering from the crowd
    Just two hearts beating out loud
    There'll be no parades, no tv or stage
    Only me till your dying day
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
    You don't have to be a star
    You Don't Have To Be A Star
    Don't think your star has to shine
    For me to find out where you're coming from
    What is a beauty queen
    If it don't mean I'm your number one?
    Oh honey, I don't need no superstar cause I'll accept you as you are
    You won't be denied 'cause I'm satisfied
    With the love that you can inspire
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
    You don't have to be a star, baby, no no no no to be in my show
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my my my my my my show
    You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
