Miley Cyrus became interested in acting at age nine when the family briefly lived in Toronto, Canada. Her first acting role was as a guest star on her father's television series Doc, in which she played a girl named Kylie. In 2003, she played "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish and was credited as Destiny Cyrus. She was also featured in Rhonda Vincent's music video for "If Heartaches Have Wings", and appeared on Colgate Country Showdown with her father, who was hosting the program.

Cyrus was eleven years old when she originally auditioned for Disney for the lead as well as the "best friend"...

We've been traveling on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
The choirs and the suffering
I walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless

I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna follow you through all the noise
Ooh whoa
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
So shine your light as I reach for you

My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love

Whoa ooh oh oh oh yeah

And I've been told at least a thousand times...

Don't live a lie
This is your one life, oh
Don't let it lie
You won't get lost
Just walk
Just walk

Oooh
It's a liberty walk
It's a liberty walk
It's a liberty, liberty, liberty
Oooh
It's a liberty walk
It's a liberty walk
It's a liberty, liberty, liberty

[Spoken]
Here's to all the ones
Tryin to hold ya back
Tryin to make ya feel like your less than that
Givin nothin mo' better than to make ya crack
But really just tryin to put your dreams off-track
And you know in the end it'll be okay
Cause all that really matters are the steps ya take
And everything else falls into place
There's no price to pay
I say

Well alright...

Everybody needs inspiration,
Everbody needs a song.
A beautiful melody,
When the night's so long.
Cause there is no guarantee,
That this life is easy.

Yeah when my world is falling apart.
When there's no light to break up the dark,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
When the waves are flooding the shore,
and I can't find my way home anymore.
That's when I, I, I look at you.

When I look at you,
I see forgiveness,
I see the truth.
You love me for who I am,
Like the stars hold the moon,
Right there where they belong.
and I know im not alone.

Yeah when my world is falling apart,
When there's no light to break up the...

I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too far
When somethin's not right it's wrong!
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It's always hit me from below
This time around it's more correct
Right on target, so direct
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne's Lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinkin' of
You might be spoilin' me too much, love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers...
