Duchess - Genesis

Times were good

She never thought about the future, she just did what she would

Oh, but she really cared

About her music, it all seemed so important then

And she dreamed that everytime that she performed

Everyone would cry for more

That all she had to do was step into the light

And everyone would start to roar

And on the road

Where all but a few fall by the wayside, on the grassier verge

She battled through

Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds

But now everytime that she performed

Everybody cried for more

Soon all she had to do was step into the light

For everyone to start to roar

And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!"

But time went by

It wasn't so easy now, all uphill and not feeling so strong

Yes, times were hard

Too much thinking about the future and what the people might want

And then there was the time that she performed

When NOBODY called for more

And soon everytime she stepped into the light

They really let her know the score

But she dreamed of the times when she sang her songs

And everybody cried for more

When all she had to do was step into the light

For everyone to start to roar

And all the people cried: "You're the one we've waited for!"
