It was a long time ago.
When you, you stole the show
But now the glory days are gone
And time's marched on into a different era
You're just a nobody

It was a brave, brave, brave new world.
You were a diamond amongst the pearls
The scene was set; the timing right;
You hit the stage and you were right
We always sang your song

But the sands of time are drifted.
The dreams you had are all exploded
The money's gone; your mind eroded.
No-one cares about you now

But there's a place. A place for you to be.
And I know, I know with certainty
That you'll raise the roof and melt the sky.
You'll play all-time and never die
Immortal beings by your creation.
Transcending class and generation
You are the one. You are the one.

With the sands of time blow'n in your face.
It's hard to find that special place
And maybe you'll never make the pace.
Maybe you do not care.
