LYRICS
I had a hole that I needed to fill
It was something deep within
I could not be satisfied until
I was willing to fill it in

It hurt at first I feared the worst
My nerves all clenched in a ball
Then it felt so good I understood
That I needed to take it all
I had to take it all

I look back now at the boy in me
Nervously planting his seed
Im on my knees, and I can feel deeply
That there is an Idol in me

Like a volcano that finally erupts
The boy inside me has his day
Hell never stop, no hell never give up
No hell just keep plugging away

A little nervous a little shy
Not sure just what he has found
But there is no obstacle to stop this guy
That he cant cant reach around
Hes gonna reach around

I look back now at the boy in me
Eagerly planting his seed
Im on my knees, and humbled I can see
That there is an Idol in me
There is an American Idol deep inside of me
