Overnight Success

How do you write a song

Where did you find your voice you ask

How are you standing strong

Where did you find a love that lasts

You can’t start a book in the middle of the story no

You can’t have a destiny without the journey no

I wish you could but no it ain’t quite as pretty it looks

You didn’t see the doors that slammed

You saw me on my second chance

You didn’t see the battles I lost and the demons I fought with my own bare hands

You didn’t see the tears I cried

You only saw me in the light

You didn’t see me scared to death you thought my success was overnight

And I guess you’re right

It was over night after night after night after night

I’m standing on a stage

I had to pay for this applause

I’ve turned another page

But it didn’t come without a cost

I turned to my pain to art and I brushed it on a canvas

Ohh

It ain’t no Van Gogh, but it’s got a touch a magic

Ohh

It took some years, some hard learned lessons

Oh let me make it clear

(Let me make it crystal clear)

You didn’t see the doors that slammed

You saw me on my second chance

You didn’t see the battles I lost and the demons I fought with my own bare hands

You didn’t see the tears I cried

You only saw me in the light

You didn’t see me scared to death you thought my success was overnight

And I guess you’re right

It was over night after night after night after night after night

Night after night after night after night

I’m begging on my knees saying God please

Night after night after night after night

Those angels were surrounding surrounding me

Night after night after night after night

I wrestled in the dark with the old me

Night after night after night after night

You didn’t see the doors that slammed

You saw me on my second chance

You didn’t see the battles I lost and the demons I fought with my own bare hands

You didn’t see the tears I cried

You only saw me in the light

You didn’t see me scared to death you thought my success was overnight

And I guess you’re right

It was over night after night after night after night after night

It was over night after night after night after night after night
