Making It To The Top

Suzanne Mondoux · 24 March 2020

What does it take to be happy in such a place Where do I go from here to where I want to be Who do I become to be who I am What has to be done to making it to the top

I’m a showgirl and the show must go on Whether I’m tired and can barely pay the rent Making it to the top seems so far away But yet with my fingertip I can touch this light ahead of me

It’s the showgirl in me that makes me survive Will I know when I’ve made it to the top Will I recognize myself in the limelight How much further do I need to go to make it the top

Making it to the top is it as far as I think it is Why search for something different from where I am The show goes on, I’m a showgirl reaching for the top Each night I play the piano, sing and dance for a crowd calling out my name

I headline in the dives of all dives The showgirl that I am believes the show must go on to make it to the top One night changes my entire life, it’s one step closer to making to the top A new stage and new lights, new faces in the crowd call out my name

I’m a showing girl making I to the top My life on stage, in lights and in a crowd I face the audience and take my bow I’ve made it to the top

Making it to the top did not make me become me It took who I was and to be me to make it to the top Making it to the top is many steps that go on an on
