Additional Info:


Times were good,


She never thought about the future, she just did


What she would


But she really cared


About her music, it all seemed so important then,


 


And she dreamed that every time that she performed


Everyone would cry for more,


That all she had to do was step into the light,


And everyone would start to roar.


 


And on the road,


Where all but a few fall by the wayside


On the grassier verge,


She battled through


Against the others in her world, and the sleep,


And the odds.


 


But now every time that she performed


Everybody cried for more,


Soon all she had to do was step into the light,


For everyone to start to roar.


And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.


 


But time went by


It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not


Feeling so strong.


Yes times were hard,


Too much thinking 'bout the future and what


People might want.


 


And then there was the time that she performed


When nobody called for more


And soon everytime she stepped into the light,


They really let her know the score.


But she dreamed of the times when she sang her song


And everybody cried for more,


When all she had to do was step into the light.


For everyone to start to roar.


And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.
