My Life Lyrics

When I was young
I used to dream of going far
Having my once, in a lifetime change
To prove I was a star
A thousand times you stood
In the wings
Dreaming it was me
I heard the people going wild
But it was just my fantasy

Life is a dance
And baby we're just players
So stand up and smile
And don't be afraid

Chorus:
This is my night
This is my song
Standing right here
Out on the stage
Is where I belong
This is my song
This is my night
Standing right here
Out on the stage
In the spotlight
I traveled the road
Wherever the road would lead
I made mistakes but I
Wouldn't quit
I made myself believe
Dreams come true
For those who dream
So one day you can say
The music be the fruit of life
And let the music play

Life is a dance
And baby we're just players
So stand up and smile
And don't be afraid

Chorus:

Bridge: (8x)
This is my life
This is my life

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
