When I would concentrate with all my might,
I could imagine
I would imagine,
That I was standing in the spotlight
And if I close my eyes, very tight
A crystal vision,
A premonition
Would find me shining underneath those hot lights

*and Id daydream in school
With faraway eyes
Living the words of the radio songs
Making my plans
Someday to take the stage
With a rock and roll band*

**and I would play in the light of a thousand smiles
(and the sound would be heard for a thousand miles)
Spreading through the towns and fields of america
America**

And I would demonstrate, every night
My plan of action,
The crowd reaction
Id have em standing, in the front row

With my air guitar, and only my imagination
Wed rock the nation
The main attraction,
In the rock and roll show

( * repeat)
( ** repeat)

And time goes by some grew weary
Its hard to keep that dream alive
Oh alive
But love and music, keep me goin
I know that somehow Ill survive
Ooh Ill survive

( * repeat)
( ** repeat)
