See those lights gleaming my way?
Glowing galore, my God, I want it every day
It shines upon them for now
But soon, it will dazzle upon me
Once everybody knows my name.
Blind me with the spotlight above!
Make me and only me, familiar
Warm me with the light
That must follow me
Make me, oh so lovable.
Let them cheer my name.
Let the lights scream my name
Let them want my light
My life won’t be the same
If everybody knows my name.
Broadway Beauty, Musical Muse!
It’s me, that’s no news
Frontpage, making headlines
On radios, in cinemas
My world alight every day
Everybody knows my name.
Don’t hide away, can’t hide away–
All eyes pierce me, light chasing me
All ears open, twisting all I say
They spurt at me
Screaming, yelling, shouting phrases
Phrases I’m afraid to repeat.
The camera spots me!
They watch my wary moves
The dazzle blinds me
They follow me as if I have nothing to lose
Is this the life I chose?
I don’t understand how this came to be
They tell me it happens to all
In the Spotlight
The lights have blinded them
No way to see.
