[Bb] [C] When I was young I used [Am] to dream of going far
[Dm] Having my once in a lifetime chance to [C] cross a star
A thousand times I stood in [Em] the [Am] wings dreaming it was me
[Dm] I heard the people going wild but [C] it was just my fantasy
[F] [Em] Life is a dance, [Am] maybe we're all players
[F] So stand up [C] and smile [Fm] and don't be [Bb] afraid
[Eb] This is my night, [Ab] this is [Fm] my song
Standing right here, out on this [Bb] stage
Is where I belong
[Eb] This is my song, [Ab]
this is [Fm] my life
Standing right here, out on this [Bb] stage
In this [Fm] body

[C]
[Fm] [Gm] [C] I'm gonna make mistakes but I won't quit
Come on [Fm] now
[Gm] [C]
Travel the road, [Am] wherever the road would lead
[Dm] I made mistakes but I wouldn't quit
[C] I made myself believe
Dreams come true for those who dream
[Am] One day you can say
[Dm] Music means [F] the truth
[C] [F]
[Em] Life is a dance,

[Gm] When [C] [Fm] I first started singing
[Gm]
[C] I sang and people made fun of me all the time
[Fm] They teased [Gm] me and [C] kind of thought I was comical
Because I [Fm] sort of sound like [Gm] Alfalfa
[C] So I asked [Fm] God to teach me how to sing
[Gm] And he did
I know [C] that sounds bizarre to people
But I just prayed and I [Fm] said
God show me how to [Gm] sing
And [C] something came into my mind
And I [Fm] did it
And when I [Gm] finished doing that
I could sing
