He Could Be A Star - Original Cast Of Billy Elliot

Lyrics by：Lee Hall

Composed by：Elton John

I couldn't take it anymore son

It was tearing me apart

We're lost we're finished man we're through

I need to give the kid a future

I need to look him in the eye

Believe me son I'd do the same for you

But you can't give in now dad

We've all been out a year

I can never talk to you again

You can't do this to me dad

You can't do it to yourself

He's just a kid he's only just a bairn

He could be a star for all we know

We don't know how far he can go

And no one else can give what I can give

And no one else can give what I can give

He could go and he could shine

Not just stay here counting time

Son we've got the chance to let him live

Yes we've got the chance to let him live

This isn't about us dad

It's not about the kid

It's all of us it's everybody's chance

It's everybody's future

It's everybody's past

It's not about a bairn who wants to dance

It's about our history

It's about our rights

Think about the sacrifice we've made

It's what you always taught us since I was a lad

Please dad don't let that passion fade

He could be a star for all we know

We don't know how far he can go

And no one else can give what I can give

And no one else can give what I can give

We're all in this together Jack

There is another way

All for one

And one for all

Take this and this

And this and this

And this and this

And this and this

Don't worry lad we'll never let you fall

He could be a star for all we know

We don't know how far he can go

But we'll give all that we can give

We'll all give all that we can give

We will go and we will shine

We will go and seize the time

We will all have pride in how we live

We will all have pride in how we live

Yes we'll all have pride in how we live

Yes we'll all have pride in how we live
