The road to fame and fortune
At times is painted black
The key to unlock the door
Is determination, no turning back

Recognition is what you seek
It's the reason that you thrive
Up on stage in the limelight
Is the drug that keeps you alive

Giving everything you've got
For one last curtain call
Shaking the hand of every fan
Before the curtain falls

Having the courage to hold on
When the road life gets too rough
Cause the day they lay you in the ground
Is the day that you've had enough.

By Lisa Caraglio

Fame and Fortune has its price.
But in the end it's worth it.
