It's Show Time

Make-up caked on
Costums all firly and beautiful
The lights slowly brighten
The curtains draw back
We stand waiting 
For the music cue
Hearts beating out of our chests

Music starts
Lights are blinding
Audience dead quiet
And the dance begins
Everyone looks beautiful
As we move across the stage
In unison
Leaping left
Turning right
Landing in first position

Music cuts off
Our hearts slow 
We give a huge smile
And a huge bow
Everything and everyone is perfect
Couldn't ask for a better preformance
