California
	Lyrics
	Verse 1: I try to hide my fear so that people hear The music that flows through my mind My song will never stop, no I can?t give up I?m finally free to share my words today Chorus: California here I come California here I come I?ve waited all my life for a chance to see my name in lights I?m not waitin? any more I know what I?m livin? for Verse 2: I hear people say ?you?re much too old to play? ?Your music is all from the past? It?s all the same to me, it?s my heart that speaks I listen and share what I hear Chorus: Bridge: Even late at night, I don?t see the light I keep on playing ?til the dawn Sometimes its hard to sleep, what words should I keep? I?m wondering when I?ll get it right Chorus: (Repeat) End: California here I come
