A Star With A Delay

When I was a kid, I wanted to sing

to stand in front of a crowd, and hear them singing with me.

When I was a teen, I took to the stage

but I stayed on the wings, and gave the spotlight away.

But who was it, inside of me, that said I shouldn’t play?

Where’d I put, the wild kid who wanted it her way?

Taking back the microphone, I’ve got something to say

There’s a sleeping muse in me and now it is awake

Following the light that leads to what I wanna make

I´m a star with a delay

And when I was grown, I stood in the crowd

and asked myself why, it’s not me making that sound.

And there on the floor, I decided to change

to Stop playing the fool, to get back onto the stage.

But who was it, inside of me, that said I shouldn’t play?

Where’d I put, the wild kid who wanted it her way?

Taking back the microphone, I’ve got something to say

There’s a sleeping muse in me, now it is awake

Following the light that leads to what I want to make

I´m a star with a delay

hey look at me now - I´m just a star
