LYRICS:
Feet stuck to the floor
Just a moment more
I don’t need to know they’re
Waiting for me
Sure I know it’s just a song
But I don’t want to get this wrong
And now I’ve been waiting far too long
Standing on the stage
It’s make or break
I can’t afford to make any mistakes
But with that said
You can’t begin
If you’re frozen behind the curtain
I don’t want to just stare at the ceiling
But I don’t know how to shake this feeling
Come on, come on
There’s no use in shaking
It’s just what you make it out to be
Come on, come on
So what if you fake it?
As long as you take it you’ll break free
Maybe if I
Just hold on tight
I can make it come out right
If I don’t try
It’ll just pass me by
Better reach for the sky!
When you push away the fear
When your mind’s finally clear
Then you realize you’re really here
With the cheering of the crowd
And the music playing loud
It all melts away into the sound
I won’t stand here and stare at the ceiling
I’ll hold on to this brand new feeling
Come on, come on
The whole world is waiting
So why don’t we shake it up and see?
Come on, come on
I know we can make it
This dream it won’t break it’s meant to be
I know if I
Just hold on tight
I can make it come out right
Just gotta try
Won’t let it pass me by
So I’ll reach for the sky!
With a dream and with a song
We can all sing along
Doesn’t matter if you get it wrong!
At the end of the day
All you really need to say
Is you did it all your own way!
If you stand there and stare at the ceiling
You’ll miss out on this wondrous feeling
It’s good to start off strong
So let’s sing one more song
And just enjoy our night in the spotlight
Everyone’s watching so
It’s ready, set, let’s go!
No time to hesitate, let’s steal the show!
Even if you take your time
You deserve a chance to shine
So take a bow with your hand in mine
Showing up’s the hardest part
So I hope you’ll take to heart
You’re amazing if you even start
We won’t stand here and stare at the ceiling
Hand in hand we can share this feeling
