about

This song was inspired almost exclusively by Susan Boyle and her well-covered, highly viewed story on the TV show "Britain's Got Talent". It's about breaking onto the scene, living your dreams, and making people listen, even when they were originally disinclined to do so.

lyrics

They had somethin stuck down in their throat
from swallowing what they were told
heads always a bit to the ground
never sayin their name too loud
one day the light shined on
planks below and all nerves gone
ears half on soon changed
the first window any gave
creases faltered, corners raised
the first impression they had made
finally hands found their partner
within the walls we felt a stir
one day the light shined on
planks below and all nerves gone
ears half on soon changed
the first window any gave
so the day thanked patience
and spurned the hard resistance
the roar reached the distant boards
late eyes to open to the chord
and so the light shined on
planks below and queries gone
ears completely changed
and many windows on the way
