Limelight

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

I can see the glow of a distant sun

I can feel it inside

Maybe this day could be the one


I can hear the roar of a distant crowd

They are waiting for me

Calling my name

Shouting out loud


Holding on isn't always easy

I ain't gonna change my mind


Limelight you were all I ever wanted

Since it all began

Limelight shining on me

Telling the world who I am

Limelight don't let me slip right through your fingers

There's a long way to fall

After the years of waiting

I'm gonna show them all


I can see the world in a different light

Now it's easy to say

Where I went wrong

What I did right


I can hear the beat of a different drum

Take it all in my stride

Hold my head high

Second to none


Holding on wasn't always easy

Nothing can change my mind


Limelight you were all I ever wanted since it all began

Limelight shining on me telling the world who I am

Limelight don't let it slip right through your fingers

There's a long way to fall

After all the years of waiting, I'm gonna show them all

Maybe the role's not easy, maybe the prize is small

After all the years of waiting, I'm gonna show them all
