To Be Someone

Where your innocence yearned
Now your jealousy burns
And the fear of failure is still holding you down
With the chains of all of your doubt
It was all yours if you wanted it
It was all yours if you wanted it
If you wanted it


You're tired of the cheap seats
And you long for the limelight
You walk the stage always
In the shadow of the spotlight
You wished on a star as it fell from the night sky
To be someone


Now the fire in your eyes
Has smouldered and died
And the hands of ambition that gripped you so tight
Now hang loose at your sides
But it was all yours if you wanted it
It was all yours if you wanted it
If you wanted it


Now the years hurt you still
The night leaves such a chill
And you count every hour
And you curse every day
And you fall on your knees
And you remember how to pray
How you long to be seen and you long for the fame
And oh, how you long for that day


It was all yours if you wanted it
It was all yours if you wanted it
If you wanted it…
