Say you wanna be a star - don't care what it takes
And you been watin' all your life - to get your break
Well somewhere deep inside your mind ? seein' it very clear

You gotta world so perfect - a pretty picture - to cover up the fear

Hear you talkin' bout the light - that's gonna shine on you

But you'll be standin' in the dark - when it's all through
And man you know the sword of fame - it cuts in to your heart
Doin' it's best to shake 'ya - and it can break 'ya - yeah before you start


Well you climb up the ladder - so far from the ground
Then you find there's nowhere go ? nowhere but down


Who will be there ? - when the spotlight has burned out
Who will be there ? - when the dream fades away

You're all alone, inside a - life full of questions
You're screamin' at the sky to tell you your fate yeah, yeah


Mirror, mirror on the wall ? seen it all before
You could tell us what - we got in store
But no one gives the plot away any - until the story 's end

Day after day we start another jouney ? trough it all again

And we climb up me mountain ? reachin' for the crown

Never carin' that what goes up ? has to come down

Who will be there ? - when the spotlight has burned out

Who will be there ? - when the dream fades away
You're all alone ? shake your fist at the heavens
You're screamin' at the sky to tell you your fate yeah, yeah


Who will be there ? - when you're down at the bottom
Who will be there ? - when you're not ten feet tall

You're all alone ? an soon the ride will be over
You'll never realized until it's too late,
Until it's too late yeah, yeah


Who will be there ? - when the spotlight has burned out
Who will be there ? - when the dream fades away

You're all alone ? an soon the ride will be over
You'll never realized until it's too late,
Until it's too late yeah, yeah
