YOU ROCKED ME (My American Idol song)

From the beginning there have always been idols

The masses followed Moses through the sea

Roosevelt kept millions from collapsing

When the depression had crushed so many dreams

Yes, we are always searching for idols

Someone to follow and adore

Who can reach through the pain felt in hard times

And promise something brighter is in store

It’s like mining in the mountains for silver

Panning through the black sand for gold

We all dream of a glimpse into Heaven

For beautiful stories to be told

We’re always seeking the oil deep beneath us

Sifting through the silt to find a gem

And after months of giving all that I've got to

I give all my thanks to God that I rocked them

~~~*Chorus*~~~

And you rocked me

I have been blessed

I studied, learned, 

Cried, and performed

And finally passed the test

You rocked me

You cheered me on

Criticism, praise, and love

As the rest were voted off

You rocked me

You helped me through

God gave me the talent

And I owe the rest to you

Because you rocked me

~~*~~

I may never be a Dylan, Hank, or Collins

Never make the world twist like Checkers did

Have fans dancing down the streets like Michael Jackson

Or humming to Sinatra in their sleep

Bring a crowd of thousands into silence

To hear the magic flow from Whitney’s lips

Or faint in the aisles from adoration

Like when Elvis Presley sang and shook his hips

But I am standing on the first step of stardom

I’ll be climbing to find my destiny

And I pray that when I reach that destination

The whole world will be thankful that you rocked me

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Yes, you rocked me

I have been blessed

I studied, learned, 

Cried, and performed

And finally passed the test

You rocked me

You cheered me on

Criticism, praise, and love

As the rest were voted off

You rocked me

You helped me through

God gave me the talent

And I owe the rest to you

Because you rocked me

~~*~~

Thank you to these stars who are the judges

Thank you to those below the stage

Thank you to the loyal fans home watching

An unknown person grasp the tail to fame

It has been building inside like a volcano

Pushing and fighting to break free

I will shout my thanks forever to the Heavens

And thank God Almighty that you rocked me

 ~~~*~~~

You rocked me!
