Lyrics:
When giant clouds of dust and gas collapse,
A star is born!
And from the leftover bits of dust and gas,
New planets often form!

It starts with the force of gravity,
Which pulls objects together!
That's what causes clouds of dust and gas to cave in! (Cave in!)
And a crash as big as those ones are,
Make so much heat, that it forms a star!
And that's when a planet's story begins!

Because that new star is surrounded,
By leftover dust and gas around it!
And those little bits, they bump,
And sometimes, stick to form a clump!
First, it's called a planetesimal!
And if it keeps on growing, then you call it a protoplanet!
Which, as the name implies, is almost planet size!
And when it gets so big, that it's own gravity rounds it out!
And it's cleared a path around,
The star we just sung about!
There's one more planet in the sky!

Giant clouds of dust and gas collapse,
A star is born!
And from the leftover bits of dust and gas,
New planets often form!
When giant clouds of dust and gas collapse,
A star is born!
And from the leftover bits of dust of gas,
New planets often form!
