The stage lights,
Flash.
A smile,
Turns on.
our feet move with the music
and out come the words.
The tale of a story.
A girl,
A love,
A death.
And so
we act on,
Telling the story.
knowing
it may be
the last we tell,
for a while.
What we would give,
For one more
show.
but we smile,
and sing,
because it is why
we tell the story.

Probably the last show i was involved included the words why we tell the story in our song lyrics. The best show i have done, and the one i will miss the most.
