I Was Meant For The Stage Lyrics

I Was Meant For The Stage lyrics

I was meant for the stage

I was meant for the curtain

I was meant to tread these boards

of this much I am certain



I was meant for the crowd

I was meant for the shouting

I was meant to raise these hands with quiet all about me

Oh, whoa...



Mother please be proud

Father be forgiving

Even though you told me: 'Son you'll never make a living.'

Oh, whoa...



And from the floor boards to the flys

Here I was fitted to reside

And as I take my final bow

Was there ever any doubt?

And as the spotlights fade away

And you're escorted through the foyer

You will resume your callow ways

But I was meant for the stage



The heavens at my birth

Intended me for stardom

Rays of light shine down on me and all my sins were pardoned



I was meant for applause

I was meant for derision

Nothing short of faded self had affected my decision

Oh, whoa...



From the floorboards to the flys

Here I was fitted to reside

And as I take my final bow

Was there ever any doubt?



And as the spotlights fade away

and you're escorted through the foyer

You will resume your callow ways

But I was meant for the stage
