[Verse]
In the crack of dawn the mirror calls
Practicing my lines between these walls
A star in my chest but no time to shine
With algebra chasing this dream of mine
[Verse 2]
My notebooks stack high my locker’s a mess
Talk of the stage won’t calm my stress
Could you please tell me how to divide
Dreams from equations colliding inside
[Chorus]
Broadway’s lights are calling me near
But physics and essays clog up my gear
The curtain's drawn here in these halls
Can’t they see I was born for curtain calls
[Verse 3]
Lunch trays clang my heart skips beats
Cafeteria gossip drowning my feats
They laugh when I hum they scoff at my spins
This small town can’t hold a girl who wins
[Bridge]
They don’t see the rhythm inside my veins
Neither the pirouettes nor refrains
But late at night when the homework's done
I’m rehearsing my bows for a standing one
[Chorus]
Broadway’s lights are calling me near
But deadlines and textbooks trigger my fear
I juggle the world no net to stay tall
One day I’ll fly past these classroom walls
