A little kid growing up
Interested in music
This is something you should learn
Cuz dad says you'll use it
So focus hard and concentrate
And put in your time
The life will be worth the wait
This is your mountain to climb
I'm standing on a stage now
Shaking scared to death
Excited where this life might lead
And I can't catch my breath
People give the credit
Where the credit isn't due
I wonder every time I play
How much of me is you
You made it people say
I wish that I was you
I wink and grin but I don't think
They know just what I do
Cuz there are thorns on these roses
Of celebrity and fame
There is something slightly off
But I don't know it's name
I'm standing on a stage now
To leave it would be death
Excited in this life I lead
And I'm loving every breath
People give the credit
Where the credit isn't due
Still I wonder every time I play
How much of me is you
Now I understand
Things that made no sense
That life is gone
I've no pretense
That what you did was wrong
I'm on a different stage now
My life might be a mess
But I'm seeing where all this might lead
And I know that I'm not less
People give the credit
And you're not a part of what I do
Still I wonder every time I play
How much of me is you
Still I wonder every single day
How much of me is you
Still I wonder every time I play
How much of me is you
