I've been thinking of entering this in the American Idol Songwriting Contest (if they have one this year) -- I would get it pro demoed first, but am trying to tighten it up. Lyrics THIS IS THE YEARThis is the year that my childhood dreams,Born in the back of the mezzanine,Come of age, on the center stage.This is the year that the red lights change,And I pull ahead in the open lane,Knowing I’ll win this race, no more second place.I’ve been waiting for this moment,And I’m gonna own it,CHORUSThis is the year,When my daydreams catch fire,A tiny spark, will light the dark,Burning higher and higher.This is the year,When the wrong turns I took,Turn out to lead, to the peak,Like I knew that they would.It’s finally here,This is the year.This is the year to thank the ones,Who kept the faith when I had none,Everytime I fell down, they picked me off the ground.This is the year that the skeptics see,All their doubts never bothered me,They just made me strong, 'cuz I wanted to prove 'em wrong.It’s got to be so surprisin’,Now they’re realizing that,REPEAT CHORUSThis is the year that justifies,All the pain and sacrifice,Every long, lonely night,When I said a prayer,FINAL CHORUSThat this was the year,When my daydreams catch fire,A tiny spark, will light the dark,Then burn higher and higher.This is the year,And I hope it never ends,If there’s time to borrow, from tomorrow,I’ll do it so I can spendMore time here,‘Cuz this is the year,Oh, this is the year.
