Up in Lights

The first time always overwhelms.
In our bodies, frozen like
We're statues of ourselves.

Our eyes closed, 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.
