Everyone tells me to know my place
But that ain't the way I play
Why am I daring to show my face?
"Cause I've got something to say

Move over sun, and give me some sky
I've got me some wings I'm eager to try
I may be unknown, but wait till I've flown
You're gonna hear from me

Just make me some room, you people up there
On top of the world, I'll meet you, I swear
I'm staking my claim, remember my name
You're gonna hear from me

Well, fortune smiled, on the road before me
Well, I'm just fortune's child
Listen sun, you can't ignore me
You can't ignore me

I've got a song that longs to be played
Raise up my flag, begin my parade
And start the world over, it's comin' up clover
That's how it's gona be and you'll see
You're gonna hear from me
