Here it is! The new Kidd’s Kids song ‘Shining Like the Stars’. Get it on iTunes and all proceeds go to this incredible trip. Get it on iTunes HERE!

Kidd Kraddick started Kidd’s Kids as an organization to take terminally/chronically ill children and their families to Disney World each year. I went on the trip last year and it changed my life. These kids are all heroes, and everyone on the trip smiles the whole time because they are finally able to drop their worries and just enjoy a vacation with everything from park passes and VIP treatment to an entire medical staff at their disposal. I wrote this song from the kids’ perspective. If they were to sing a song while in Disney World, this is what I thought they would sing…and now, they will this year! Please buy the song on iTunes or donate to Kidd’s Kids online. I can guarantee that your money will fund many smiles :)

Lyrics:

SHINING LIKE THE STARS

VERSE 1

Take me to a place where all my dreams come true

Cuz everybody knows I’ve got a dream or two

When we hit the ground there ain’t a thing I won’t do

Tell me what you got, just bring it on!

I close my eyes at night and I’m a hero man

When they see my face, they’ll finally understand

We can see the world, just give me your hand

And nothing’s gonna stand in our way

CHORUS

Shining like the stars

Can you hear them say my name

Here we are

Watch us throw our cares away

And we shine so bright, we light up the darkest night

Here we are

We’re shining like the stars

VERSE 2

Mom she always told me, just how good it would feel

Standing in the sun and I know that it’s real

And all the faces that I meet, they think that I’m a big deal

I tell them I’m just here to have some fun

And it seems that I belong here, I just wish I could stay

But some turns are on this road we all have to take

And I know that I’m a hero and it’s by no mistake

So hold on tight, cuz tomorrow never waits

CHORUS

Shining like the stars

Can you hear them say my name

Here we are

Watch us throw our cares away

Here we go

We don’t even know what’s next

But we know

That’s what makes this life the best

And we shine so bright, we light up the darkest night

Here we are

We’re shining like the stars

BRIDGE

I close my eyes at night, I’m a hero man

And one day they’ll understand

CHORUS

Shining like the stars

Can you hear them say my name

Here we are

Watch us throw our cares away

And we shine so bright, we light up the darkest night

Here we are

We’re shining like the stars

Tim Halperin - All You Got Official Kidd’s Kids Music Video

All of the footage was taken from this year’s Kidd’s Kids Trip. I was fortunate enough to go on the trip, and it changed my life. The kids voices you hear singing on the track are kids from this year’s trip: Madison McMeekin, Chance Stiver and Christa Dima. Kidd’s Kids is a foundation started by Radio Host Kidd Kraddick. Every year, Kidd and his team take 50-60 chronically/terminally ill children and their families to Disney World for a week, with all expenses paid and a full medical staff. For most kids, this is their first family vacation because many of their circumstances prevent them from traveling.

Kidd asked me to write this year’s song, and I wrote ‘All You Got’. All iTunes proceeds from ‘All You Got’ go to Kidd’s Kids. If you would like to donate to Kidd’s Kids, you can do so at http://www.kiddskids.com/page/make-a-donation Help make memories that last a lifetime!
