Light of a Thousand Smiles

When I would concentrate with all my might I could imagine, I would imagine That I was standing in the spotlight And if I close my eyes very tight A crystal vision, a premonition Would find me shining underneath those hot lights And I'd daydream in school with far away eyes Living the words of the radio songs Making my plans someday to take the stage With a rock and roll band And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles (And the sound would be heard for a thousand miles) Spreading through the towns and fields of America, America And I would demonstrate, every night My plan of action, the crowd reaction I'd have 'em standing, in the front row With my air guitar and only my imagination We'd rock the nation the main attraction In the rock and roll show And I'd daydream in school with far away eyes Living the words of the radio songs Making my plans someday to take the stage With a rock and roll band And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles (And the sound would be heard for a thousand miles) Spreading through the towns and fields of America, America And time goes by some grew weary It's hard to keep that dream alive Oh, alive But love and music, keeps me goin' I know that somehow I'll survive Ooh, I'll survive And I'd daydream in school with far away eyes Living the words of the radio songs Making my plans someday to take the stage With a rock and roll band And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles Spreading through the towns, spreading through the fields Taking to the streets of America Spreading through the towns, spreading through the fields Taking to the streets of America Spreading through the towns, spreading through the fields Taking to the streets of America
