I Do It for Applause

I go on stage, go through the paces
 That's been a dream of mine, for such a long time
 It has consumed me every waking moment
 No one can change this heart of mine
 I'll keep this dream alive, inside me
 There's something deep within, that keeps me going
 I won't be satisfied, until I'm showing
 That I can reach you, with my song
 And when I got on the stage
 I seem to come alive, in sharing my devotion
 I'll make sure I'll please the crowd
 The message from my heart, that reaches your emotion
 I'll try to touch you with my soul, until I open all the doors
 And now, I give my heart to you
 I do it, for applause
 I can hear the cheering crowd now
 And I'll sing my song, with all that's in me
 And I know that it will surely win me
 The hopes and dreams I wish to pawn
 I'll sing my songs again, tomorrow
 I'll look and stare at all, the happy faces
 And I will never, ever show the traces
 Of any doubts along the way
 And when I got on the stage
 I seem to come alive, in sharing my devotion
 I'll make sure I'll please the crowd
 The message from my heart, that reaches your emotion
 I'll try to touch you with my soul, until I open all the doors
 And now, I give my heart to you
 I'll try, until my dream comes true
 I pray, I'll hit the proper chord
 I do it for applause
