She’s gone

I will always be there

Whenever you’re in need

I watched you grow so beautifully

From that tiny helpless seed

I’ve given you my friendship

But I wanted so much more

If you ever want to return

I’ll leave that open door

Chorus

She’s gone

Moved away

Won’t come back, not today

It hurts inside

My heart is bleeding

But I’ll never give up

I’ll always keep believing

I’ve wiped away my tears

It’s hard to see you go

I try to keep my chin up

But my heart is at an all time low

Just to hold your hand once more

To feel you next to me

I stare into your eyes

But it’s only friendship that you see

Bridge

Is it too late?

She could have been the one

I wish I could tell her how I feel

But now she’s gone

I would pick her up

When she was feeling down

I’d make her laugh

Pretending I was a clown

She would call me her other half

I felt I was her boyfriend

I was on to of the world

Now the world is about to end

Next

Wasting time just waiting for that one ray of sunshine

Another lifeless graduate to join the never ending line

They all look the same and tell me the same old story

They don’t want the hard work but they want all the glory

The days are getting longer as another hopeful passes by

Rejection they can’t take they just run away and cry

Built up by their families all wanting them to succeed

But we all know what they want – the fame and the greed

Chorus (1)

Another talent

Another hopeful

Another kid just wanting fame

You haven’t got it

You’ll never have it

I don’t even know your name

These corridors full of people who will never make the grade

There only hope is a summer in another Disney parade

Get your heads out of the books if you want to go far

Life experiences of ups and downs will make you a star

Bridge

Shouting next is becoming boring and tiring

I need someone to get my cylinders firing

Now I see her, someone different, she has that certain spark

A glimmer of light shinning through the endless corridor of dark

Her perfect hair, her perfect face a perfect combination

Can she act? Can she dance? She’ll be the latest sensation

Chorus (2)

She’s a talent

She’s our hopeful

Another kid just wanting fame

She almost got it

She’ll soon have it

I need to know her name

Everyday the same

We all get up early to do our daily chores

Ironing and washing and sometimes cleaning doors

Tidying up for the visitors we never do see

This isn’t living; this isn’t a future for me

Breakfast at 7 then a packed lunch in our hand

The routine I hate, why can’t they understand

I meet the same people and we say the same things

Are we just puppets performing boredom on strings?

Chorus

Everyday the same

Nothing happens here

Going through the motion

My life I have to steer

I have to escape

This world that surrounds me

I have dreams I wan to live

Why can’t they see?

My mum always saying ‘you’ll not amount to much’

Like a rabbit wanting to escape I’m trapped inside this hutch

A brother whose dreams were dashed early on

I still have hopes and dreams that haven’t yet gone

Bridge

This can’t be our lives, this can’t be our existence

I’ll fight the regime; I’ll show you my resistance

They all do a day job that they don’t really like

We can’t afford a car so dad’s out early on his bike

Tick tock of the clock a time bomb ready to explode

People walking down the same tireless road

Let you go

It’s the toughest decision I’ve had to make

But this is the opportunity you have to take

I can’t be the one who stops you and your dream

I don’t want to be the dam stopping your stream

Inside it’s hurting and I’m screaming my love for you

But on the outside I’m blank, wanting nothing from you

The tears I shed are memories of us leaving me

Your bright future ahead is all I want you to see

I have to let you go

I have to tell you lies

My heart is breaking

There’s grey in the skies

I have to let you go

Step to one side

I have to forget

You’re on another ride

I have to escape and find a way to move one

I keep looking around, pretending you haven’t gone

The pain of you leaving is crushing my heart

Why isn’t life simple?  Can we go back to the start?

Bridge

Will I ever see you again? Will our lives past once more?

I’ll always be here waiting ready to open love’s door

I can make it

They said I couldn’t do it, they closed every open door

Sometimes I was lonely, getting knocked down to the floor

They told me I was no good, didn’t believe I could play the part

Told me to go home, go back to the very start

I didn’t want to give up, kept holding my head up high

Wiped away my tears, didn’t want them to see me cry

I’ll continue to stand tall, take small steps each and every day

I’ll get that principal roll, live my dream soon on Broadway

(Chorus)

I can make it, I believe in who I am

I can make it, this is my perfect plan

There’ll be a bright star shining, the brightest star in the darkest night

I can make it

I can make it

I can make it

As another door closes, another one opens wide

I’m running round excited, my heart fills with pride

I’ve got to tell someone, got to tell my fantastic news

I’m becoming someone special, I read the audience reviews

Open your eyes

The world around us is crumbling

Giving us no hope of survival

But how can we stop this devastation

Is it true what was said in the bible?

Have we really lost our voice?

Are we too scared to say what is wrong?

People too scared to live

Why have we left it this long?

Chorus

Open your eyes

Try not to blink

See what’s going on

It will stop and make you think

Society is lost

Community now gone

Family torn apart

You’re not the only one

Bridge

It’s not too late to change the world that we live in

But who will step up and where do we begin

Why have we created a world full of greed?

Know one caring about tomorrow

Everyone wants everything in an instant

Bringing debt and more sorrow

If

If I held your hand would you hold mine?

If there was a queue to see you would you let me stand in line?

If I asked you out would you take the chance?

If the floor was empty would you be willing to dance?

If I ever let you down would you be able to forgive me?

If you close your eyes would you still be able to see me?

If I gave you my coat, due to the rain, would you accept?

If I bought you flowers would you say they were inept?

If I was going too fast would you slow me down?

If I made you laugh would you call me a clown?

If I smiled at you would you smile back?

If I booked us a holiday would you go home and pack?

If I climbed a mountain would you help me to the top?

If I offered you chocolate would you take the lot?

If I opened my heart would you look inside?

If my heart was lost would you be my guide?
