See I've had my share of ups and downs,
|
Been picked up and kicked back down,
|
I've had my share of abusive partners.
|
Then I fell pregnant at 17,
|
A single parent with broken dreams,
|
An education that barely mattered.
|
|
In a house full of sisters and brothers,
|
My nan and my dad and my mother,
|
Me and my daughter will survive.
|
Then my father was down with an illness,
|
And my sister was down with an illness,
|
Is there a God up in the sky?
|
|
[chorus]
|
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
|
Sometimes I look,
|
I can't believe that I have come this far.
|
They said I'd never make it,
|
They always said I would never amount to no good.
|
But if I can do it,
|
You can do it,
|
Just follow your heart,
|
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart.
|
You'll be a superstar...
|
|
My father said he was dying,
|
No man could ask how long,
|
Who knows?
|
Said I feel in to depression...
|
|
I turned to violence,
|
But it weren't right,
|
Mamma said it don't stop things to fight,
|
Need to be strong now for your daughter.
|
|
[chorus]
|
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
|
Sometimes I look,
|
I can't believe that I have come this far.
|
They said I'd never make it,
|
They always said I would never amount to no good.
|
But if I can do it,
|
You can do it,
|
Just follow your heart,
|
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart.
|
You'll be a superstar...
|
|
For all the tears I've cried,
|
I built on my pride,
|
It took the same to make me stronger.
|
See, never have I given in,
|
I let out the fighter within,
|
Now I see believing in me,
|
Was all I need.
|
|
