[Silence]<\/p>\n

[Instrumental: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, sub-bass, organ, percussion, drums]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nHad a dream when I was young
\nMake some music, write some songs
\nTake a rhythm, make it new
\nFind a way to share with you!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nAll these years I’ve followed sound
\nFound a groove and spun it round
\nTried a little, learned a lot
\nMade music with the things I’ve got<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAll along
\n(I’ve had lifelong ambition)
\nDance and song
\n(Create a new rendition)<\/p>\n

At every chance
\n(Song and dance)
\nGiven a choice
\n(Raising a voice)<\/p>\n

A new rendition…
\n(Of lifelong ambition)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFrom the first notes to today
\nNever ran out of things to play
\nDifferent sounds and different styles
\nKeep me going for a thousand miles<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nAll along
\n(I’ve had lifelong ambition)
\nDance and song
\n(Create a new rendition)<\/p>\n

At every chance
\n(Song and dance)
\nGiven a choice
\n(Raising a voice)<\/p>\n

A new rendition…
\n(Of lifelong ambition)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot for fame
\n(Not for fortune)
\nNot for gold
\n(… and you’ll never grow old)<\/p>\n

Just the beat
\n(Under my feet)
\nJust the song
\n(Coming along)<\/p>\n

If I can make you move
\n(Find a little groove)
\nIf I can make you smile
\n(It’s been worthwhile!)<\/p>\n

Dance! (Dance!)
\nSing! (Sing!)
\nMake a little something
\nOut of anything!<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing…
\n(Give the old a brand-new swing!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nAll along
\n(I’ve had lifelong ambition)
\nDance and song
\n(Create a new rendition)<\/p>\n

At every chance
\n(Song and dance)
\nGiven a choice
\n(Raising a voice)<\/p>\n

A new rendition…
\n(Of lifelong ambition)<\/p>\n

All along
\n(Still creating)
\nDance and song
\n(n’ innovating)<\/p>\n

At every chance
\n(Let the music play)
\nGiven a choice
\n(I’m here to say)<\/p>\n

A new rendition…
\n(Of lifelong ambition!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nDance and song
\n(Coming along)
\nRaise your voice
\n(Make some noise!)<\/p>\n

One more rhyme
\n(One more time)
\nA new rendition…
\n(Of lifelong ambition!)<\/p>\n

All along…
\n(Dance and song!)<\/p>\n
