Mama, I Wanna Be Famous

One day
You asked me what I wanted to be
I said let me answer honestly
Then I told you with so much glee
This is my dream

I want
I wanna walk one day on the streets
In hopes someone will recognize me
I wanna be the one that you’ll see
On the TV

Some people might say my ambitions too high
They tell me I spend too long
With my head in the sky
Maybe I should just listen
Maybe they’re right
But I’m not gonna give in to the spite in their eyes

Mama, I wanna be famous
Wanna let the world know what my name is
It might take forever
But I gotta have patience
I said, I said I wanna be famous

Mama, I wanna be famous
Wanna die knowing I did something amazing
It might take forever
But I gotta have patience
I said, I said I wanna be famous

I’m doing this for me, not for anybody else
I’m not sure if I’ll succeed
But I know there’s no regrets
This might just be my dream
A dream that cannot bloom
So I guess I will just dream
While I stare up at the moon

One day
You asked me what I wanted to be
I said let me answer honestly
Then I told you with so much glee
This is my dream

I want
I wanna walk one day on the streets
In hopes someone will recognize me
I wanna be the one that you’ll see
On the TV

People they say my ambitions too high
But I’ll keep spending my time
With my head in the sky
I’m not gonna listen though you might just be right
I’ll keep trying and trying till the day that I die

Mama, I wanna be famous
Wanna let the world know what my name is
It might take forever
But I gotta have patience
I said, I said I wanna be famous

Mama, I wanna be famous
Wanna die knowing I did something amazing
It might take forever
But I gotta have patience
I said, I said I wanna be famous
