Stage

I gaze upon the empty stage
Anticipating what’s to come
Knowing full well
I’ll be happy when they’re done

The curtain’s up
The music starts
And now my heart
Begins to part

Making a space
For each new face
And the wonder
That they bring

I feel the joy
I feel the pain
In every word they sing

They seem to be
In their own world
Where only they can see
What really goes on
Around them as they sing

One day I know
I will be up there too
Living in
A wonderful world
That only theatre can bring
