When I would concentrate with all my might,
|
I could imagine
|
I would imagine,
|
That I was standing in the spotlight
|
And if I close my eyes, very tight
|
A crystal vision,
|
A premonition
|
Would find me shining underneath those hot lights
|
|
*And I¡¯d daydream in school
|
With faraway eyes
|
Living the words of the radio songs
|
Making my plans
|
Someday to take the stage
|
With a rock and roll band*
|
|
**And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles
|
(And the sound would be heard for a thousand miles)
|
Spreading through the towns and fields of America
|
America¡¦**
|
|
And I would demonstrate, every night
|
My plan of action,
|
The crowd reaction
|
I¡¯d have em standing, in the front row
|
|
With my air guitar, and only my imagination
|
We¡¯d rock the nation
|
The main attraction,
|
In the rock and roll show
|
|
( * Repeat)
|
( ** Repeat)
|
|
And time goes by some grew weary
|
It¡¯s hard to keep that dream alive
|
Oh alive
|
But love and music, keep me goin¡¯
|
I know that somehow I¡¯ll survive
|
Ooh I¡¯ll survive
|
|
( * Repeat)
|
( ** Repeat)
|
