Lyrics
ONE PERFECT SONG
(c) 2007 by Eric Sierka
When I was a kid
My room was a stage
I'd lock the door
And give my heart away
Every night a search for...
One perfect song
They'd call my name
Crowd on the floor
And I would go
Till I couldn't give anymore
And so it went, my search for...
One perfect song
But it would end
when someone heard
and said "just go to bed..."
Not everyone understands...
Chorus
I believe this is where I belong
Through the nights full of doubt
I can last till dawn
And when everythings right and
everythings on... I'll sing...
One Perfect Song
Time rolls on
I've grown and I've changed
Tried to fight
Tried to breakaway
Tried to give up searching for
One perfect song...
But it called like a shore to
the waves
And every time I tried to escape I
Still found me searching for
One perfect song...
And it seems to me
I'm not alone
Everyone's searching too
I think I'm a lot like you
Chorus
I believe this is where I belong
Through the nights full of doubt
I can last till dawn
And when everythings right and
everythings on... I'll sing...
One Perfect Song
Bridge
The doubts, the tears, rejection cheered Haunting me, taunting me What's come and gone has made me strong and...
Everything I am
I believe this is where I belong, oh
Here tonight - THIS is where I BELONG
I believe this is where I belong
I have lasted the night
I can see the dawn
And now everything's right
And everything's on...
Everything's on
My One Perfect Song
Everything's right, Everything's on...
One Perfect Song
When I was a kid
My room was a stage
I'd lock the door
And give my heart away
