I'm through the door and I step inside
A change occurs in me
They pull the curtains, dim the lights
It's the only place to be
It fills my heart and it lifts my soul
The real world drifts away
The sea of people surges forth
As the band begins to play
And I realized today
If they can do it why not me
It seems to come so easily
It's all that I know how to be
If they can do it why not me
We've been around and we've paid our dues
We're here for your eyes on disply
We're doin' what we love to do
We're playin' how we play
For now I live vicariously
The dreams abounding in my head
On stage is where I need to be
No more watching them instead
And I do mean what I said
