Lyrics
A small town girl with big time dreams
A small town girl with ambitious dreams.
But nothing's ever as it seems
Reality may differ from appearances.
A mother waves her girl goodbye
A mother bids farewell to her daughter.
Then slowly hangs her head and cries
The mother expresses sorrow as her daughter leaves.
Hollywood hills and the big city lights
References to the allure of Hollywood and city lights.
Outside her window they burn bright
The bright lights contrast with the girl's small town life.
Someday the world will praise her fame
Anticipation of future fame for the girl.
They'll know her face they'll shout her name
Confidence that her face and name will be known.
They'll shout it real loud
Emphasizing the loud recognition she'll receive.
She'll make her mama real proud
Her success will bring pride to her mother.
She'll stand above the crowd
She will stand out from the crowd.
I am someone
Declaration of self-identity.
Look what I've done
Proud reflection on personal achievements.
Stare into the sun
A metaphorical look into a bright future.
I am a shooting star
Emphasizing her status as a rising star.
I am something
Reiteration of her identity and significance.
I am someone
Reaffirmation of her individuality and worth.
Look what I've done
Reflection on personal accomplishments.
I am a shooting star
Reiteration of being a shining star.
She looks down at the stars, lying on the streets
The girl envisions herself among the stars.
Says to herself "that will be me"
A confident declaration of future success.
A big time dream, a small town mind
Balancing ambitious dreams with a small-town mentality.
Searching for a break, she may never find
The difficulty of finding a breakthrough.
Streets of gold, they turned to grey
Dreams fading, but hope remains for one more chance.
Just one more chance, just one more day
A plea for another opportunity.
Someday that world will know this face
Confident belief in eventual recognition.
She swears they'll never fall from grace
Commitment to maintaining grace and dignity.
They'll shout it real loud
Reiteration of loud recognition and pride.
She'll make her mama real proud
Her success will bring pride to her mother.
She'll stand above the crowd
Reaffirmation of standing out from the crowd.
And shout
A declaration, perhaps of triumph.
She stands out on the streets in the pouring rain
She faces challenges in the pouring rain.
Strangers walk by they don't know her name
Strangers remain oblivious to her identity.
As the silver screen slowly fades to black
The glamour of success fades, but she remains resilient.
She'll never give in, she can never go back
Determination to persevere without looking back.
Someday you'll see me
A hopeful message of future recognition.
Don't you need me
An expression of importance and validation.
Everybody will believe me
Anticipation of widespread belief in her.
I am a shooting star
Reiteration of being a shooting star.
I will stand strong
Commitment to resilience and endurance.
I will hold on
Determination to hold on in difficult times.
It's not my last song
Emphasis that her journey is ongoing.
I am a shooting star
Final reiteration of being a shooting star.
