I FACE SOMEWHERE written by Mary James & her mother Jean James
Lyrics
"Oh my heart is thumping and my blood is pumping
And my knees keep bumping when I try to walk straight
And my vision gets blurry every time I try to hurry
Like a green, sweet sixteen, on the scene, of a first-time date

I hear people shouting, and others are pouting
While I stand here doubting, where to go or what to do
This “somewhere” of extremes, is not the “somewhere” of my dreams
La La Land, on demand, sure looks grand, but the dream’s not true

CHORUS
No stranger to warfare, felt the danger and I took the dare
Any day, any scare, any way, anywhere - it’s true
Now I walk a wire that leads nowhere, face a fire beyond compare
Make a play, make a prayer, every day, everywhere - for you

Through endless years, to stem the tide, I faced my fears, I faced my pride
I tried and I cried and I died inside – it’s true
Until today with soul laid bare and hell to pay, I face somewhere
I face somewhere for you
I’ve been misunderstood, and there’s no likelihood
I will leave Hollywood, with a movie star name
Just trying to survive, in the bargain stay alive
Hunkered down, like a clown, uptown, on the backstreet of fame

Guess I haven’t learned yet, that on any movie set
If you say you’re brunette, then you should have been blond
If you’re sleeping in your car, just remember who you are
No regret, just forget, all your debt, or the clothes you pawned"
