Everyone tells me to know my place
But that ain't the way I play
So why am I daring to show my face?
Well I've got something to say
Move over sun and give me some sky
I've got me some wings I'm eager to try
I may be unknown, but wait till I've flown
You're gonna hear from me!
Make me some room, you people up there
On top of the world, I'll meet you I swear
I'm staking my claim, remember my name
You're gonna hear from me!
Fortune smiled, on the road before me
And I'm fortune's child
Now listen world, you can't ignore me
Toss me the moon, 'cause I gotta shine
I'm climbin' a cloud and callin' it mine
You'll pardon my haste, I've no time to waist
That's how it's gonna be, you'll see.......
Cause you're gonna hear from me!
I've got a song that longs to be played
Raise up my flag, begin my parade
My comet's on fire, I've got to go higher!
Watch the world over
Start comin'up Clover!
That's how it's gonna be, you'll see
Yes, you're gonna hear from me!

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
