Your eyes are filled with longing
As you see her move across the stage;
The dancer sways to the music
With serene beauty and grace

Remember those dreams you had as a child?
Remember when you believed
That the ******* stage could be you,
That dancing was  your destiny?

Somewhere when you were "growing up"
You told yourself you couldn't be
The shining star; that one in a million
You lost faith in all your dreams

You watch the dancer spin to the music;
She moves like an angel in the night.  
Through the crowd, she smiles at you;
You feel your passion reignite

Remember those dreams you had as child?
Once again, they burn in your heart
But so many years have passed
You don't know where or how to start.

You'd lost your way and wandered
Far from all the hopes you had
Now you push past all your doubts
You dance till there's no going back

You work harder than you did before,
You tell yourself dreams can come true
You dance with all your heart and soul
Till that moment comes for you

Remember those dreams you had as a child?
Now they feel so very real.  
Finally you stand on the stage
To show them all your skill and zeal

You dance with gay abandon
You forget the eyes that watch you
You move flawlessly to the music
This is what you were meant to do

The crowd rises; a standing ovation
With tears of joy, you take your bow
Remember those dreams you had as a child?
Well, those dreams are real now.
