What Price Fame
I dedicate this song to all those, both men and women, who have ever had to struggle to balance a career and a good family life. It ain't easy!
Chorus:
What price fame? I'm asking you. What price fame! I'm telling you.
When success has burned away and nothing but the ashes remain,
What price fame? What price fame!
Dreams are bursting from my heart. My head is pounding.
I can't take it any more.
My children crying, "Mommy, what's for breakfast?
Mommy, can you find my shoes I've got to get to school!"
(I turn around and...)
Life is flying by my eyes. I'm getting older.
Got to make a move for sure.
My husband calling, "Honey, where's my gray suit?
Honey, can you find my keys I've got to get to work!"
When is it time for me? When do I get to be all I can be -
Spread my wings and fly, reach that mountain high above the world...
But it's lonely at the top.
Chorus
Do I stay or do I go? Just can't decide which.
I can't think it anymore.
My great dilemma - Yes, I know they need me,
Loving wife and mother, that will make their life complete.
(But I need something...)
Want to drink in the champagne and taste the glory.
That is what I want for sure.
But then I know that if I leave
And they get used to life without me, things will never be the same.
Should it be time for me? Should I now get to be all I can be -
Spread my wings and fly, reach that mountain high above the world...
But it's lonely at the top.
Chorus
