A small town girl with big time dreams But nothing's ever as it seems A mother waves her girl goodbye Then slowly hangs her head and cries Hollywood hills and the big city lights Outside her window they burn bright Someday the world will praise her fame They'll know her face they'll shout her name They'll shout it real loud She'll make her mama real proud She'll stand above the crowd I am someone Look what I've done Stare into the sun I am a shooting star I am something I am someone Look what I've done I am a shooting star She looks down at the stars, lying on the streets Says to herself "that will be me" A big time dream, a small town mind Searching for a break, she may never find Streets of gold, they turned to grey Just one more chance, just one more day Someday that world will know this face She swears they'll never fall from grace They'll shout it real loud She'll make her mama real proud She'll stand above the crowd And shout She stands out on the streets in the pouring rain Strangers walk by they don't know her name As the silver screen slowly fades to black She'll never give in, she can never go back Someday you'll see me Don't you need me Everybody will believe me I am a shooting star I will stand strong I will hold on It's not my last song I am a shooting star
