You know that it's been a long time comin'.
I've been let down so many times along the way.
But I never let go of the dreams that I have shared,
And let me tell you what happened the other day.

Chorus:
I heard my voice on the radio. It sounded so strange to me.
For the first time on the radio the song they were playin' was me.

I started to clap my hands to the beat of the drums.
I jsut couldn't help myself, year, I had to sing along.
I hardly believed it when the music began to play.
It's so unreal, but it happened the other day.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
I told my friends, "One day I will make it to the top."
But they just laughed, and said, "Boy, you'll never be a thing."
But now the dream's not a dream, and they're not laughing anymore!
Now they all join along every time that they hear me start to sing.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

You know that it's been a long time comin'.
But now so much is changed, and I doubt it could ever be the same.
I walk down the street, and people turn their heads my way.
And it's because of what happened the other day.

2nd Chorus:
They heard my voice on the radio. They heard it so loud, and clean.
And for the first time on the radio they song they were hearin' was me.

(Repeat 1st Chorus)
I heard my voice on the radio.
For the first time on the radio.
