Kid in the Crowd

[Verse 1] Little girl, she looks around She's standing in the open ground Looks up at the girl alone singing through the microphone Girl gives girl a little smile And just one wink that could have run a mile But life is full of empty days But the little girl said, "I'm gonna be like that someday" [Chorus] I, I remember the eyes Of the kid in the crowd Who cut me down to size And realizing is crying out loud For every kid on stage There is a kid in the crowd [Verse 2] Girl on stage holds her hand Backed up by a country band Looking down with eyes of grace Looked upon that young girl's face And when she smiled at that eight-year-old Endless thoughts that can never be told Wiped away those empty days And the little girl said, "I'm gonna be like that someday" [Chorus] I, I remember the eyes Of the kid in the crowd Who cut me down to size And realizing is crying out loud For every kid on stage There is a kid in the crowd [Bridge] Answered "whys" are like moonlit skies And lovin' eyes are like fireflies Wannabes, they really can be But the little girl, that little girl was me [Chorus] I, I remember the time I was a kid in the crowd With the dream in my eyes Realizing is crying out loud There was a kid on stage I was the kid in the crowd [Outro] Oh, oh I'm still the kid in the crowd
