Stars generally get their energy from hydrogen. By far the most common source of energy from a star (like our sun) is the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. As long as there is enough hydrogen, and other elements, to support the nuclear fusion, the process will go on.

Therefore, stars generally get their energy from large amounts of hydrogen which coalesced during the star formation and through gravity received enough mass (weight) to start the nuclear process.
