See I've had my share of ups and downs,
Been picked up and kicked back down,
I've had my share of abusive partners
Then I fell pregnant at 17,
A single parent with broken dreams,
An education that barely mattered
In a house full of sisters and brothers,
My nan and my dad and my mother,
Me and my daughter will survive
Then my father was down with an illness,
And my sister was down with an illness,
Is there a God up in the sky?
[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar
My father said he was dying,
No man could ask how long,
Who knows?
Said I feel in to depression
I turned to violence,
But it weren't right,
Mamma said it don't stop things to fight,
Need to be strong now for your daughter
[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar
For all the tears I've cried,
I built on my pride,
It took the same to make me stronger
See, never have I given in,
I let out the fighter within,
Now I see believing in me,
Was all I need
[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar
[chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be a superstar,
Sometimes I look,
I can't believe that I have come this far
They said I'd never make it,
They always said I would never amount to no good
But if I can do it,
You can do it,
Just follow your heart,
And don't let anybody try and tear your dreams apart
You'll be a superstar
