"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a ______"

Star? Sun? I've listened to a zillion versions and I think I've heard Ed sing both at different times (and I think sun is on the Ten liner notes lyrics?). To me a sun doesn't seem to make sense since there's only one sun, but you could be a star because there's lot of them. Thoughts?

    sun is a star
    Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example - I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.

    both version are correct,he already sing both..

    but the one fits and sing the most is Star
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    Think a out this.. The ENTIRE solar system depends
    on revolving around the sun. Therefore this
    fits the best. But star works too. I've just always
    taken it as the protagonist's world, universe
    revolved around this person hence, that person
    Leaving, turns their world to black.

    I never ever thought it was anything other than Star. Listened to it 10 times in a row and it still sounds like star.
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    I stand by star! I read somewhere recently (?PJ20 book or recent Ten pullout from Calssic Rock many years ago but just come across again) that lyrics were star, which is what I've always thought ;)
