SHOWTIME!!

Starlight, stage fright
Apprehensions, raise the curtains
Shadows, people
Watching with intent
It’s the performance of a lifetime, but be warned
One small mistake, that’s it, you’re done for
At least that’s how it seems

Tell me now, which happy face
Should I maybe wear today?
Expectations? Through the roof!!
I clear my head and take a breath, and
Thus begins the show

The city lights are blinding me
The crowd, disorienting, illusions
Telling me the stage is mine
And every moment, passing by
My thoughts ring in my mind, to
Gather up all my confidence and
Reach up to the stars
Into the night

Distant company in
Synchronicity we perform

Hands trembling, mind is full of agitation
Second-guessing every other note I play
Glancing at the others, shining brightly
Wondering if they might be going through the same

The city lights have blinded me
The crowd, surrounding, but I
Carry this weight and snap right out of it

And every moment, passing by
My heart rings in my mind, to
Capture every melody singin'
Reach up to the stars
Into the night
