A cover from Sly And The Family Stone(listen to the original Here). The Jackson 5 certainly picked it up a notch. However, I feel Michael's preadolescent vocals didn't fit in very good(besides his backups). Just thought it too high-pitched for this gourmet funkedelic tune. Otherwise, The Jackson 5 have definitely outdone Sly and The Family Stone!
Lyrics
EVERYBODY IS A STAR Lyrics
Who would rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
Who comes out on a cloudy day
'Til the sun that does you proud
When the system tries to bring you down
Every hand to shine tonight
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
EVERYBODY IS A STAR
I can feel it when you shine on me
Oh, I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
EVERYBODY IS A STAR
One big circle going round and round
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa (Shine, shine, shine, shine)
