The bright lights of the stage blind me
My lips form an 'oh', mind clouds with worry
A melody on the cusp of my tongue
The lyrics waiting to be sung
My smile falters as my mind blanks
Good thing I have a chorus to cover my flanks
They sing longer than needed, as I freak in my head
My understudy gives my the side-eye, ready to sing in my stead
I open my mouth and close it once more
The song! I remember! My spirits soar
A soft lilting voice fills the air. Mine!
A smile graces my face, I'm doing well, it's all fine
