I can still see you now
Just a child with only dreams to hold on to
You were wild, the world outside
Was calling out to you
Just look at you now
You're going all the way
Rags to riches
See your name in lights
From rags to riches
To a shining star
From a ghetto child
I can still hear you say
The day would come
When the world know your name
We all laughed
Now look at us
And look at you today
Now you have is all
Never look back again
Rags to riches
See your name in lights
From rags to riches
To a shining star
From a ghetto child
Sometimes, at night
Do you reach back to the past
Those times
Remind you of who you really are
You'll always be
The same girl to me
Just chase that dream
Just look at you now
You're going all the way
Rags to riches
See your name in lights
From rags to riches
To a shining star
From a ghetto child
Rags to riches
See your name in lights
From rags to riches
To a shining star
From a ghetto child
