how you shine upon them
captivated by all that you are
they lose sight of themselves
Oh beautiful Star
so full of your gloriousness
they can't see that you're marred
just like the rest of us
Oh beautiful Star
so high above us all
but your beauty, it scars
it's dangerous to love you
Oh beautiful Star
keep shining on brightyly
you'll always be a star
and we're only human

The personification of the star and the tension you describe between the star and humans is compelling.
