Come On Take Your Shot

I slipped on a teardrop and landed on my butt All because they said I couldn't make the cut I wanted to sing, I wanted to dance Finally I had my one and only chance The judges put me down And I began to frown I walked out the door with my head hanging low I walked down the street as time went by slow I was struck deep to the heart Because I thought I was art But nothing seems to be clear I'm completely out of cheer But even though I failed Doesn't mean that I bailed Because my passion is a force that will never stop Tomorrow I will wake up and get right back on top So it doesn't matter who you are Anyone can rise to be a star And it doesn't take a lot So come on take your shot
