My Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was young
I used to dream of going far
having my once in a lifetime
chance to prove I was a star
a thousand times I stood in
The wings dreaming it was me
I heard the people going wild
but it was just my fantasy
life is a dance
maybe we're all players
so stand up and smile
and don't be afraid
this is my night
this is my song
standing right here out on
the stage is where I belong
this is my song
this is my night
standing right here out on
the stage in the spotlight
whoo hoo
I traveled the road
wherever the road would lead
I made mistakes
but I wouldn't quit
I made myself believe
dreams come true for those who
dream, so one day you can say
if the music be the fruit of life
then let my music play
life is a dance
maybe we're all players
so stand up and smile
and don't you be afraid
this is my life
this is my song
standing right here out on
the stage is where I belong
this is your life
this is my song
this is my life
standing right here out on
the stage in the spotlight
