A friend & I were talking about our performing experiences - and I put our stories together and this song was born. She's featured on the vocalZ. I actually sent this song in to American Idol. Never made the cut - but either way. I like the song!

This Is My Dream

Here I am
I'm standing here
the spotlights shining on me
I can hear the music playing
So
Look at me
I've come so far
It just took awhile to get here
But I've finally reached my star
So, I'll show the world that I'm not afraid to fall
Cause I have the strength inside me
and I've always just believed

[Hook]
This is my dream
I've waited for this moment to arrive
here is my chance
this is my time

This is my dream
To show the world that I have what it takes to shine
with all my hopes
and faith in me
This is my dream

So, I'll catch my breath
I'll move a step
closer to my vision
towards reality
No matter what
you can't take that away
My spirit glows much brighter
and I know that I'm much stronger
cause I know right now
this is where I belong
So, I'll overcome this distance
though the road may seem to long

[Hook]
This is my dream
I've waited for this moment to arrive
here is my chance
this is my time

This is my dream
To show the world that i have what it takes to shine
with all my hopes
and faith in me
This is my dream

[Bridge]

They used to tell me
I should give it a try
that I should'nt give up
start reaching for the sky
oh...
Cause somewhere out there
is a miracle for me
I should follow my horizons
and always just believe

[Hook]
This is my dream
I've waited for this moment to arrive
here is my chance
this is my time

This is my dream
To show the world that i have what it takes to shine
with all my hopes
and faith in me
This is my dream
