The Reason I Sing Lyrics

if it's just to top a song chart
to feed the kids and get a bigger car
the sky's already got enough stars
and they all sing your name
and if i'm here to write a number one
to get a gold or maybe platinum
make me a singer who is unsung
'cause you won't share your fame
'cause even accolades some day will fade away
just like me
yes, everything but you
many years from now it won't matter how
why i write the rhymes i do
help me get back to the reason i sing for you
i'm always looking for the limelight
to dim the house and make the stages bright
compared to you i'm just a nightlight
against the blazing sun
i enter rooms and hope they notice me
to fill my social insecurities
i'm asking is there any hope for me?
'cause there's only room here for one

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e79269-jimmy_needham~the_reason_i_sing_lyrics.html ]
why are we so convinced a bigger audience
is simply common sense to have?
maybe success is measured best by nothing less than our obedience

so if i'm destined for a small stage
the small crowds and the small pay
and maybe even in a small way
i can bring you fame
