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
