Showtime

The rustle of the curtain
The hustle of the crew
Everybody says the night depends on you.
It's magic there for the moment
You look again and it's gone.
They say it's like the time between
The darkness and the dawn.

This is showtime
My heart starts to pound
My spirit goes up when the lights go down
This is my night
In the spotlight
You work all your life
To get it better than right
This is showtime

You work on your timing
You wait for the breaks
But no-one ever sees the toll the waiting takes.
Some never make it
They don't understand
How to hold your heart and your emotions
In your hand

This is showtime
My heart starts to pound
My spirit goes up when the lights go down
This is my night
In the spotlight
You work all your life
To get it better than right
This is showtime
