The Dream
The dream began on opening night
I'm backstage thinking about all the years and months of hard work
Dreaming about this night.

The opening song begins
As it comes toward the end I get more and more nervous
I will appear on stage any moment.

Suddenly there is your cue
You are on stage
Everyone is staring at you.

The lines start pouring out of your mouth
I start singing
I suddenly lose all of my nerves
I put all my personality into the star I'm playing.

It turned out perfect
People laughed when they were supposed to laugh
People's eyes teared up with tears when they were supposed to
It was perfect.

Then I take the final bow
I am done
Opening night was a dream.
