I am a fan (and you should be too), because...

When it comes to how much I love you, I don’t know what to write
I can’t put it into words, but I must try with all my might
I tried to make a sculpture out of sticks and clay
But no one likes aliens, so I quickly threw them away
I tried to draw a picture with lines and shaded hue
But I’m not good at drawing people, it didn’t look like any of you
I thought maybe I’d write a song, but I really can not sing
Then an idea came to mind, a really simple thing
There it was something that I never realized before
Things I make might be neat, but heartfelt words mean more
I had to do some thinking, it took a bit of time
And then a little extra, to make sure it was all in rhyme
I realized that it didn’t sound as bad as I thought it would
Saying that I couldn’t write was wrong, because indeed I really could
So here it goes without delay, words of a written art
Forgive me if I ramble, but they come straight from the heart
I’ve loved you Chris from your audition, you really stole the show
Then my heart was shattered when the votes said you had to go
But deep inside I knew that no matter what they said
You would come back with something great, your spirit was not dead
This never give up attitude, gave me inspiration
I was almost giving up on school and needed motivation
I didn’t think it could go back to the way it used to be
But your positive example did a lot to encourage me
I strived hard to make it right, I really changed my tune
And I’m happy to report that I graduate on time in June
Last year when my 17th birthday came back around
I tried to get tickets for the AI tour, but none could be found
Then as if by some dumb luck I found three up for bidding
You should’ve seen my face when I realized I was winning
Because going was something that I just had to do
At the concert I was really amazed by you
You stood on stage with confidence, wowing us with your skill
Giving the group of us such a wonderful thrill
The tour ended just like that and everyone parted ways
I started counting down to your cd, it couldn’t be too many days
Then a few months later with a big bang it hit all the stores
Copies were bought by all your fans from the pacific to eastern shores
Brian, Josh P, Josh S, and Joey you really seem to stick
You are building your own road placing brick by brick
Chris, you didn’t need American Idol you’re making it on your own
So far there have been many ways the success with this band was shown
You hit Number 1 with your album, you have top spot on VH1
And here the little haters thought your career was done
But now all of you are completely proving them all wrong
And you continue to do that every time you get up to sing a song
Building more fans every time you hit the sold out stage
Writing your own history book page by shining page
You’ll be strong for years to come so hang on for the ride
I’ll be sitting here smiling on, with a sense of pride
I’ll stay sticking by you through everything that is sure to come about
While other’s fans may waiver we’ll stay here without a doubt
You’ll win lots of awards and recognition with dignity and grace
Not too bad for a now lead singer who came in fourth place
