I was so far from home, in a strange land Many faces passing me by, why I'm here I don't understand Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes Every day gets much harder, sometimes I wish I'd never come But I'll stand here and fight, I won't turn around and run Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes All those years have now faded, lost somewhere in a distant dream All I need is another chance, another year of being seventeen Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes Seventeen, there were stars in my eyes
