about

This song turns the performer-fan relationship around. In a music industry of fleeting TV talent show fame, most artists don't have large fan bases and TV spotlights. The people who listen and love what they do consist of friends, family, colleagues, and others in a close and supportive network. This is a "thank you letter" to anyone who supports an artist in their life, and gives their own time and appreciation to the artist's work.

lyrics

I don't have a voice to be on The Voice
Not sure I ever would make that choice anyway
Never going to be an American Idol
But when everyone's got talent what makes them special?

They're only doing it
One, for the money
Two, for show
Everybody's in a rush to go
Be a star!
But that's what you really are
When I'm doing it just for you
That's my dream come true

Livin' on the road is not for me
Being away is not my fantasy
Fame is a crushing expectation
Everyone wants a piece of the new sensation

They're all doing it
One, for the money
Two, for show
Everybody's in a rush to go
Be a star!
But that's what you really are
When I'm doing it just for you
That's my dream come true

You're my star when I sing you a song
You're my star when you sing along
You don’t have to be up on stage all night
You don’t have to be on a screen so bright
Cause you’d shine right through
When it’s me and you.

Art with purpose, art with passion
Art for one is not the latest fashion
Creating for you is my life's story
Leave the rest behind, they can have their 10 minutes of glory

They're only doing it
One, for the money
Two, for show
Everybody's in a rush to go
Be a star!
But that's what you really are
When I'm doing it just for you
You know they're doing it
One, for the money
Two, for show
Everybody's in a rush to go
Be a star!
But that's what you really are
When I'm doing it just for you
That's my dream come true

You're my star when I sing you a song
You're my star when you sing along
You don’t have to be up on stage all night
You don’t have to be on a screen so bright
Cause you’d shine right through
When it’s me and you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's my dream come true
Yes, you shine right through
When it's me and you
