The Pavement Is My Stage

My first small steps Along your thousand paths Reaching for the light beneath the trees No hand to hold to stay on my feet Like a tadpole swimming up stream It's not what you do It's who you are I'll give you my heart You can take my soul My words, my truth, my life Are in your control In this shallow world we live in It's not always the best that climb Just trying to be in the right place Doing what I love at the right time For every smile there's twice as many tears Scars and wounds I keep as souvenirs It's not what you do Ooh It's who you are I'll give you my heart You can take my soul My words, my truth, my life Are in your control I'll give you my heart You can take my soul My words, my truth, my life Are in your control Dreams come true So why not me One of the lucky ones For all the world to see Replace street lights for spot lights And cobbles for carpets And benches to a mass of smiles Oh now the pavement is my stage One dream, one life, one chance Is all I need I'll give you my heart You can take my soul My words, my truth, my life Are in your control I'll give you my heart You can take my soul My words, my truth, my life Are in your control I'll give you my heart You can take my soul
