Take The Stage

for the *Young People's Theatre Workshop* ALL We all feel the moment When we know rehearsing’s done, And the crowd is cheering Although the show has just begun. There’s so much acceptance. It’s a place where talents grow. Everyone’s invited. Come be yourself And join the show. Take the stage. Hear the applause. Feel the effect of the colored lights. Take the stage. The curtain’s going up. It’s opening night. The show is starting. Hear how the music’s rising. It’s a feeling you can’t define, When you take the stage and shine. There’s a lot of chaos And the costumes don’t quite fit And sometimes you just might hear The wrong notes coming from the pit. Take the stage. Hear the applause. Feel the effect of the colored lights. Take the stage. The curtain’s going up. It’s opening night. The show is starting. Hear how the music’s rising. It’s a feeling you can’t define, When you take the stage and shine. All the stress. All the work. All the years we spent together. All the love. All the friends we’re making, Risks we’re taking. It’s all worth it when we take the stage! Hear the applause Feel the effect of the colored lights. Take the stage. The curtain’s going up. It’s opening night. Yeah. SOPRANO Take the stage.
