a heart to heart talk with my teenaged son led to this song.
Lyrics
go for your dream
live and breath this thing
remember it won't be easy
do what you do
if that dream comes true
don't forget the ones who love you
like a rock star
your name up in lights
is a beautiful sight
they cling to every word you say
people scream your name
you'll never be the same
oh the fortune and fame
like a rock star
high on that hill
you can find many thrills
you can even find yourself lonely
with so much to share
but no one who cares
empty arms can be hard to bear
like a rock star
stars fall from the sky
angelic and bright
some burn before they reach the ground
try to take it slow
you'll reap what you sow
ain't no harm in growin' old
like a rock star
