Up in Lights

The first time
Always overwhelms
And our bodies
Frozen like we’re
Statues of ourselves
Our eyes close
We’re ready now
Whatever we might see
Tonight we’re all expecting it to be
Big as life
The earth moves
Underneath our feet
And all our big plans
Get tossed aside
Like pennies in the street
In the morning
The music stops
Whatever we achieve
Tonight we need a reason to believe
We’re big as life
All the doors and windows blowing open
All the walls and barriers will fall
All the lights on our marquee say
We will always be
Big as life
