about

Lesson 9
“MY SHINING STAR”
“My Shining Star” reinforces many concepts I’ve already covered with other songs in this course. My shining star is a wonderful metaphor of finding light within darkness. Darkness represents grief, despair, confusion and feeling lost. Light can be a beacon of hope, clarity and illumination. My song was inspired by a poem I wrote not long after my mother died, which helped me cope with my grief. Hearing positive words that our loved one would tell us is very comforting during grief. The line “you whisper in my ear to heal,” moved me deeply because it gave me permission to let go of my grief. Our loved ones want us to suffer. Although you feel hopeless because the future you once imagined with your loved one will never be, let them become a shining star guide your way with light and love.

lyrics

MY SHINING STAR

Shining star so bright
you wink to me every night
moonlight glows upon my bed
I hear your voice inside my head

Shining star so bright
surround me with your lovely light
I reach for you in my sleep
you comfort me while I weep

In my heart you will stay
I’ll hold onto our dream forever
the stars above, remind me of our love
each and every day, wherever you are
you’re my shining star

Shining star so bright
even though you’re not in sight
with my eyes closed, your breath I feel
you whisper in my ear to heal

In my heart you will stay
I’ll hold onto our dream forever
the stars above, remind me of our love
each and every day, wherever you are
you’re my shining star so bright
I’ll dream of you tonight

In my heart you will stay
I’ll hold onto our dream forever
the stars above, remind me of our love
each and every day, wherever you are
you’re my shining star

Judy Unger Los Angeles, California

I have been an artist all of her life. Although I played classical guitar in college, I left music behind when I was 21. 30 years later, I began writing songs to help me cope with the challenges in my life. Many of my songs are dedicated to my son, Jason, who died in 1992. I love to inspire hope of healing with my music, because my songs have certainly healed me of any pain. ... more
