"Limelight" Lyrics

I can see the glow of a distant sun
I can feel it inside--
Maybe this day
Could be the one...

I can hear the roar of a distant crowd
They are waiting for me--
Calling my name,
Shouting out loud...

Holding on isn't always easy,
I ain't gonna change my mind...

Limelight, you were all I ever wanted since it all began,
Limelight, shining on me, telling the world who I am.
Limelight, don't let me slip right through your fingers
There's a long way to fall,
After the years of waiting, I'm gonna show them all...

I can see the world in a different light;
Now it's easy to say
Where I went wrong,
What I did right...

I can hear the beat of a different drum;
Take it all in my stride--
Hold my head high,
Second to none...

Holding on wasn't always easy,
Nothing can change my mind...

Limelight, you were all I ever wanted since it all began,
Limelight, shining on me telling the world who I am.
Limelight, don't let me slip right through your fingers
There's a long way to fall,
After the years of waiting, I'm gonna show them all...

Maybe the role's not easy, maybe the prize is small.
After the years of waiting, I'm gonna show... them... all...!
