This next song is from the play, [C] Ordinary Girl, and it's a time in the [Bb] play when my character [Gm] doesn't know if she can go back on stage.
[C] She doesn't know if anybody ever wants to hear her sing again.
And so,
[Bbm] [Fm] she [Gm] stands on the middle of an empty stage [C] and she says a little prayer.
She says, God,
[Bb] [Gm] you gotta help me.
[C] I can't do this alone.
If I was [Bb] born to sing, and I [Gm] was meant to be here, you gotta give me the strength and the courage [C] to go back on.
And somehow, [Bb] she musters the strength.
[Gm] [C]
When I was young, I [Am] used to dream of going far.
[Dm]
Having my once in a lifetime chance [C] to prove I was a star.
