In the mirror, I see a star, with dreams that take me far
A name in lights, on Broadway nights, where I'll play the leading part
Scripts and lines, in my mind, a world I'm set to chart
I'll tread the boards, win awards, and acting's just the start

'Cause I wanna be, I wanna be, on the silver screen
A face that gleams, in Hollywood dreams, the famous one it seems
I wanna be, I wanna be, where the legends stood
My name in fame, in the hall of good, oh I would if I could

From auditions to standing ovations, the journey's tough, I know
But I'll brave the stage, of every age, and in my craft, I'll grow
Through every role, I'll bare my soul, and give my all each show
I'll live the part, with all my heart, and let my talent glow

'Cause I wanna be, I wanna be, on the silver screen
A face that gleams, in Hollywood dreams, the famous one it seems
I wanna be, I wanna be, where the legends stood
My name in fame, in the hall of good, oh I would if I could
'Cause I wanna be, I wanna be, on the silver screen
A face that gleams, in Hollywood dreams, the famous one it seems

And when the lights dim low, and the curtains fall
I'll remember the climb, and cherish it all
For every no, there's a yes, in the actor's tale
With passion and grit, I shall prevail

'Cause I wanna be, I wanna be, on the silver screen
A face that gleams, in Hollywood dreams, the famous one it seems
I wanna be, I wanna be, where the legends stood
My name in fame, in the hall of good, oh I would if I could

So here's to the lights, the camera, action
To the fame, the art, the pure satisfaction
I'll make my mark, and take my stance
In the world of film, where I'll dance my dance
