I Was Meant For The Stage lyrics

I was meant for the stage
I was meant for the curtain
I was meant to tread these boards
of this much I am certain

I was meant for the crowd
I was meant for the shouting
I was meant to raise these hands with quiet all about me
Oh, whoa...

Mother please be proud
Father be forgiving
Even though you told me: `Son you`ll never make a living.`
Oh, whoa...

And from the floor boards to the flys
Here I was fitted to reside
And as I take my final bow
Was there ever any doubt?
And as the spotlights fade away
And you`re escorted through the foyer
You will resume your callow ways
But I was meant for the stage

The heavens at my birth
Intended me for stardom
Rays of light shine down on me and all my sins were pardoned

I was meant for applause
I was meant for derision
Nothing short of faded self had affected my decision
Oh, whoa...

From the floorboards to the flys
Here I was fitted to reside
And as I take my final bow
Was there ever any doubt?

And as the spotlights fade away
and you`re escorted through the foyer
You will resume your callow ways
But I was meant for the stage
