A very pleasant good evening ladies and gentlemen It is now time for the one and only There never will be another Christina Aguilera Thats how music should sound nnn Ive waited for some time To get inside the minds Of every legend Ive ever wanted to stand beside Its like an endless ride Feeling the lows and highs Of every lyric and melody every single rhyme nnn So here I stand today In tribute I do pay To those before me who laid it down and paved the way And so to god I pray That he will give me strength To carry forward the gift of song in his good faith In his good faith Im going back to basics To where it all began Im ready now to face it I wanna understand nnn What made the soul singers And the blues figures, yeah That inspired a higher generation The jazz makers And the ground breakers They gave so much of themselves in dedication nnn So here I stand today In tribute I do pay To those before me who laid it down and paved the way nnn

Welcome to the greatest show Greatest show on earth Youve never seen before Let the fairy tale unfold Whats behind the smoke and glass Painted faces, everybody wears a mask Are you selling them your soul Will you be left out in the cold nnn Is it all blue skies Fun and games until you fall Then youre left without anyone at all Youre ridin on a shooting star With a smile upon your face But soon the shine fades nnn And youre left out all alone Wonderin Where did they all go nnn Been jaded, hated Wholl be around when the limelights faded Been shot down Pushed out Made to smile when I wanted to frown Always takin a bow Always workin the crowd Always makin the rounds Always playin the clown Wholl be stickin it out Wholl be stayin around When the lights go down nnn
