ROCKSTAR
A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera Lyrics

There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum
A young girl is playing her drum energetically in her backyard.

Sittin' in a junk pile laughing at the sun
She enjoys life and laughs heartily while sitting in a pile of discarded items, soaking up the sun.

Singin' 'ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar'
The girl sings out that she desires to become a famous rockstar.

There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song
A boy sits in the back of the car while singing along to the music.

Playin' on the radio, knowing he's the one
The boy is playing the song on the radio and imagines himself as the lead artist.

Singin' 'ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar'
The boy vocalizes his aspiration of becoming a popular rockstar.

Singin' 'ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!'
The girl and boy reveal that they were born to become rockstars, confident in their destiny.

There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
A girl is perched on top of a tree, gazing at the stars in the sky.

Waiting for a touchdown comin' in from Mars
The girl eagerly anticipates an extraterrestrial touchdown on Earth.

Thinkin' 'is there anybody out there?'
The girl wonders if there are any intelligent life forms on other planets.

There's a boy thinking of her playin' his guitar
The boy is lost in thought about the girl while strumming his guitar.

Searching for the answer buried in his heart
The boy is searching his heart for answers to his questions.

Singin' 'ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?'
The boy sings out asking if anyone else is questioning the mysteries of the universe.

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The artists wonder if there is a deeper meaning to life and ask for guidance.

The more I look it just gets harder to find
As they search for answers, it becomes more challenging and elusive.

The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why
The singers feel disorientation and seek reasons for the chaos.

And we're all getting older wishin' we were young
The artists lament how quickly time passes and reminisce about their youth.

Hangin' on the memory of what we would become
They still cling to the aspirations they held in their younger years.

Singin' 'ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar'
They continue to proclaim that becoming a rockstar is their destiny.

Singin' 'ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar'
They confess their desire to achieve rockstar status.

And maybe we will never figure it out
The artists accept that answers may not be forthcoming.

I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
They sense that life's purpose is in the pursuit of answers.

I'm learning anything is possible now
They are discovering that anything is achievable with sufficient determination.

Take a ticket and get off the line
They encourage listeners to take a chance and pursue their dreams.
