"Make Believe" by Aisley Autumn (Live at Pete's Candy Store)

While traveling through New York on my first self-booked tour, I got to play at this bucket list venue: Pete's Candy Store! This is where one of my favorite scenes in Sara Bareilles' TV Series "Little Voice" was filmed, which made it so surreal to perform on that same stage myself. Perfect for the occasion, I shared my original song "Make Believe" that's about chasing my crazy dream until it happens someday. It was such a cool moment to see a small part of that dream come true by playing here! :)
Lyrics:
What if I’m too old to dream this big?
I wanna be with the stars, but they’re out of reach
I’m the ambitious kind, yet it scares me
Want to rewrite my life, but I’m stationary
Caught in the in-between, but I’ll keep going
Oh, though this dream may seem like make believe for now
Gotta make myself believe I can make it happen
Oh, I’ll let people think it’s crazy for now
‘Til I make them all believe I can make it happen
I’ll make it happen someday, someday
Wide awake most nights, I can’t help but think
What if chasing this dream is worth nothing?
I’m the persistent kind, yet it scares me
Worried this calling might be imaginary
Or what if I’m just too old to dream this big?
Oh, though this dream may seem like make believe for now
Gotta make myself believe I can make it happen
Oh, I’ll let people think it’s crazy for now
‘Til I make them all believe I can make it happen
I’ll make it happen someday, someday
But for now, I sneak out to play on empty stages
Close my eyes, I pretend that I’m singing to packed out stadiums
And for now, I write out my heart on a thousand pages
Work for hours, I pretend that I am who I will become
Oh, though this dream may seem like make believe for now
Gotta make myself believe I can make it happen
Oh, I’ll let people think it’s crazy for now
‘Til I make them all believe I can make it happen
I’ll make it happen someday
I’ll make it happen someday
I’ll make it happen someday
Someday
