(Verse 1)
From the winding backroads to the city lights,
He chases dreams under signs so bright,
Every note he sings, every chord he plays,
Just one shot at the big time, gotta seize the day.
(Verse 2)
Late nights in dim-lit bars, playin' to empty seats,
Broken strings and broken dreams, beneath his feet,
Every knock back letter, every closed door,
Just fuels the fire inside him, makes him want it more.
(Chorus)
One chance to shine, one shot at the stars,
But it takes blood, sweat, and tears, to reach that far,
Every step he takes, feels like walkin' through fire,
But he'll keep on fightin', reachin' higher and higher.
(Verse 3)
Now the spotlight's blinding, as he takes the stage,
Years of sacrifice, written on every page,
But with each chord he strikes, and each word he sings,
He knows he's one step closer, to where he's been aiming.
(Chorus)
One chance to shine, one shot at the stars,
But it takes blood, sweat, and tears, to reach that far,
Every step he takes, feels like walkin' through fire,
But he'll keep on fightin', reachin' higher and higher.
