You're in the spotlight, everybody's hanging round
Nobody wants to miss it
You're livin dreams, your livin like a kennedy
Isn't what you had envisioned
So you're fadin out
Oh, you're fadin now

You're on the edge, you're right up on the pinnacle
Standin up top lookin down
You wonder if there's light, if you could fly away
You're gonna leave this town
But you're holdin out
Oh, you holdin out

You shine
Brighter than all the others
You fly
Higher than the stars above
You glow
Oh, you know

You're on the master list, and you ain't ever gonna
Get up offa this stage
You're gonna be exalted just like a queen
Get used to this face
Don't go fadin' out
Oh, you're fadin' now

You shine
Brighter than all the others
You fly
Higher than the stars above
You glow
Oh, you know

You shine
Brighter than all the others
You fly
Higher than the stars above
You glow
Oh, you know

And they watch
And they watch, and they watch
And they see all the love
All the love in your eyes
