Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been starin' at this certain star (Yeah)
'Cause I'm trainin' like every night
All alone and the lights are off
Wish that I could do whatever I like
I've been wishin' to the universe
'Cause to be real, I'd be better off
Wanna know what I'm waiting for?
Some kind of sign, like a meteorite
[Refrain]
Something to happen, some kind of magic
To make me feel real
I wanna experience, I want some control
I just wanna feel
[Verse 2]
Anything that has no soul
Is guaranteed to fall
So once it happens, you will know
'Cause you'll hear God's voice inside
[Chorus]
I wanna open my eyes and know that it's okay
I'm awake, my dream has come true
And I would do it for free if that is what it takes
What it takes is how bad I want to
[Verse 3]
Am I a toy? I got feelings, too
First, they pick me up, and then put me down
I am lost, who am I appealing to?
That's what they all say when I'm not around
So I pray to the universe
That it will come true finally
I'll be whoever I decide to be
Worry about yourself, 'cause I'll be alright
[Refrain]
Something'll happen, some kind of magic
To make me feel real
I wanna experience, I want some control
I just wanna feel
[Verse 4]
I must admit that I was slow
'Cause what I didn't know
All my dreams and my goals
Were inside me the whole time
[Chorus]
I wanna open my eyes and know that it's okay
I'm awake, my dream has come true
And I would do it for free if that is what it takes
What it takes is how bad I want to
