Take a step forward
I promise you’ll find
A new day just waiting
All others behind

This is easy, but scary
I warn you, but please
Take my wing, let me show you
How to fly through the trees

—

So chin up, and get up
And brush up, let’s go
The show must go on
So get on with your show

—

You’re a rock star, baby
That much I knew
It’s what you do with it, do with it
This is your cue

You’re a rock star, baby
I want this for you
So be a rock star, baby
And do it for you

—

The first time I met you
You had a guy on your brain
Then the next time
A guy on your mind

I’m no expert, but I do know
It can’t be all bad
You know you can do better
Than all the assholes you’ve had

—

So chin up, and get up
And brush up, and go
The show must go on
So get on with your show

—

You’re a rock star, baby
This much is true
It’s what you do with it, do with it
That’s up to you

Go be a rock star, baby
I want you to soar
So be a rock star, baby
The rock star I know that you are
