|
I was meant for the stage |
|
I was meant for the curtain |
|
I was meant to tread these boards |
|
Of this much |
|
I am certain |
|
I was meant for the crowd |
|
I was meant for the shouting |
|
I was meant to raise these hands |
|
With quiet all about me, oh, oh |
|
Mother, please be proud |
|
Father, be forgiving |
|
Even though you told me"Son, you'll never make a living", oh, oh |
|
From the floorboards to the flys |
|
Here I was fated to reside |
|
And as I take my final bow |
|
Was there ever any doubt? |
|
And as the spotlights fade away |
|
And you're escorted through the foyer |
|
You will resume your callow ways |
|
But I was meant for the stage |
|
The heavens at my birth |
|
Intended me for stardom |
|
Rays of light shone down on me |
|
And all my sins were pardoned |
|
I was meant for applause |
|
I was meant for derision |
|
Nothing short of fate itself |
|
Has affected my decision, oh, oh |
|
And from the floorboards to the flys |
|
Here I was fated to reside |
|
And as I take my final bow |
|
Was there ever any doubt? |
|
And as the spotlights fade away |
|
And you're escorted through the foyer |
|
You will resume your callow ways |
|
But I was meant for the stage |
