Paroles de I was meant for the stage

I was meant for the stage
I was meant for the curtain
I was meant to tread these boards
Of this much i am certain

I was meant for the crowd
I was meant for the shouting
I was meant to raise these hands
With quiet all about me, oh, oh

Mother, please be proud
Father, be forgiving
Even though you told me
"son, you'll never make a living", oh, oh

From the floorboards to the flys
Here i was fated to reside
And as i take my final bow
Was there ever any doubt?

And as the spotlights fade away
And you're escorted through the foyer
You will resume your callow ways
But i was meant for the stage

The heavens at my birth
Intended me for stardom
Rays of light shone down on me
And all my sins were pardoned

I was meant for applause
I was meant for derision
Nothing short of fate itself
Has affected my decision, oh, oh

And from the floorboards to the flys
Here i was fated to reside
And as i take my final bow
Was there ever any doubt?

And as the spotlights fade away
And you're escorted through the foyer
You will resume your callow ways
But i was meant for the stage
