Verse 1:
Ever since the day that I could speak
I let my hands say everything I think
Most of my thoughts laid down deep inside
So I'd let the notes say everything I tried

I never used to be the one
To stand my ground and fight instead of duck and run
But no one wants more than I to see my star hit the sky
So I'll work day and night whether rain or sun

And I look back on the things I've done
I'm not there yet, but I've already won

Verse 2:
No matter how much I did my best
It took at least 10 "no's" before my first "yes"
So hard to keep my chin in the air, because it's so not fair
For every try to end in distress

I put my money where my mouth is
And turned my passion to my business
I finally realized that deep down inside
I want this to be what my whole life is

And I look back on the things I've done
I'm not there yet, but I've already won

[AdrianEaston]

know no one will probably read this but I'm gonna post it anyway

I'm a 15 year old singer/songwriter,

I've been singing since I was 4 years old,

It's always been my dream for people to hear my voice,

If my videos touch just one person, and make them smile, then it was all worth it! I don't need the fame for fortune to be happy with what I'm doing, but just one click to like this post would mean the world to me, and help me get that much closer to my dreams :)
