I lean down now and I pick up the stone,
It explodes in my hand, man, my mind is blown,
But the silence is coming after the noise,
To live in colour or black and white is my choice.
Clamber onto the stage and smile at the crowd,
It makes me feel good 'cause the screams are so loud.
And as I stand there, tall and proud, I scre-ea-ea-ea-ea-eam!

I want to be what everyone dreams of being!
I wanna reach out and grab a star for me.
And I'll ne-e-e-ever stop believing!
Number 1 is what I aim to be.

I look out the window and exclaim "oh my",
A young boy of 8 has say to cry,
Says he has no future, no hope to survive,
Says his brother's dying, and is only 5.
I let him into my house, tell him of my dream,
Say "follow it if your life's come apart at the seams".
And as I stand there I scre-ea-ea-eam, cause I'm gonna follow my dream.

I want to be what everyone dreams of being!
I wanna reach out and grab a star for me.
And I'll ne-e-e-ever stop believing!
Number 1 is what I aim to be.

To be! I dre-ea-ea-ea-eam! Dream dream dream. Yea-eah. Oh oh oh!
