Stairway to Fame

Rejection and failure are my biggest fears

I’ve been trying to survive this life for many years

Audition after audition the door slams shut

People continuing to tell me I haven’t made the cut

I’ll reach for the stars because that’s the highest I can be

One day they will believe and see what I do in me

Chorus

One step at a time

I know I’ll get there

One step at a time

Success at each stair

One step at a time

It gets harder to succeed

One step at a time

Recognition is what I bleed

The snipes from people who thought they knew best

Telling me it’ll never happen I should give it a rest

I’ve been at rock bottom looking up to the sky

Asking myself is it worth it, I’ll give it one more try

I’ll reach for the stars because that’s the highest I can be

One day they will believe and see what I do in me

Bridge

But I’ll believe, believe in myself

The recognition for my work is my only wealth

I don’t want all the riches that fame brings

I just want the opportunity to do my own thing

I want people to know who I am, my name

As I take my first step on the stairway to fame

I’ll reach for the stars because that’s the highest I can be

One day they will believe and see what I do in me
