What I Live For, What I Want


Thunderous applause
A steady, continuous chanting of my name
That's what I live for
This is what I want

I can be a  princess, a maid
A country bumpkin, or anything
This is what I live for
This is what I want

Not doing it for the wealth
Just for the appreciation
This is what I live for
This what I want

Inspiring the young and old
That you can start form nothing and still become something
This is what I live for
This is what I want

To do what I love
To act on a stage
This what I live for
This is what I want
