a Canadian singer and songwriter, whose idol is Michael Jackson.  This song is from her 2009 debut album, “Picture Imperfect.”

Life is a song meant to be sung
And dreams are the words that tickle your tongue
No time to lose, singing the blues, stuck in a memory
You get what you give, so let yourself live
And be what you’re meant to be

Alright! Everything’s gonna be so bright
Welcome to your destiny
Believe in yourself, the answers will come
Alright! Everything’s gonna be so bright
Life is but a melody
Heaven knows, heaven knows you’ve waited so long
And soon you’ll be singing your song

Don’t be afraid, just jump right in
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
You make your mistakes,
That’s what it takes for you to find your way
Trust in yourself, nobody else
Knows what you want to say

Alright! Everything’s gonna be so bright
Welcome to your destiny
Believe in yourself, the answers will come
Alright! Everything’s gonna be so bright
Life is but a melody
Heaven knows, heaven knows you’ve waited so long
(And soon you’ll be singing your song)

Oh, This is your destiny
Oh, Be what you’re meant to be
Oh, Keep your convictions strong
Oh, This is your song

Alright! Everything’s gonna be so bright
Welcome to your destiny
Believe in yourself, the answers will come
Alright! Everything’s gonna be so bright
Life is but a melody
Heaven knows, heaven knows you’ve waited so long
And soon you’ll be singing your song
