On the stage, Mic in my hand,
it's me and you, and my band,
Rock to the left, shimmy to the right,
let's sing my song through the night!

I'm the star of the show, oh, oh-
You like my track? Let me know oh oh-
Sing it with me, lets' go, oh oh
I wanna hear you go woah oh oh-

Dance and groove, jump to the beat,
here there and up the street,
sing the words loud and proud,
I want to hear them - you're my crowd!

I'm the star of the show, oh, oh-
You like my track? Let me know oh oh-
Sing it with me, lets' go, oh oh
I wanna hear you go woah oh oh-woah oh oh- woah oh oh oh!

SONG 4: Breaking Free

Woke up with a vision, time to take control,
No more second-guessing, I'm ready to roll.

I'm breaking free, gonna be the best version of me, version of me
oooh.
I'll stand tall and conquer all.
Just to wait and see.
Just to wait and see oooh.

Every step I take, I'm learning to believe,
With the strength inside of me,
I know what I can achieve.

I'm breaking free, gonna be the best version of me, version of me
oooh.
I'll stand tall and conquer all.
Just to wait and see.
Just to wait and see oooh.

I'm breaking free, gonna be the best version of me, version of me
oooh.
I'll stand tall and conquer all.
Just to wait and see.
Just to wait and see oooh.

SONG 5: Dream to Believe

Dreamin' is what we do,
just work hard and it can come true.
Believe in all you do, release the inner star in you.

It's time to shine,
let your hair down.
You rule your world, now wear that crown!

The sun shines bright, the stars in you,
go and do what you wanna do!
Be a sports star, teacher or musician.
Live that dream, that's your mission!

It's time to shine,
let your hair down.
You rule your world, now wear that crown!

It's time to shine,
let your hair down.
You rule your world, now wear that crown!
