Thunderstruck

A prisoner she’s not - breaks out of cage. In absence of spotlight, still darkness fades. We’re thunderstruck, she’s breathtaking on stage. Audience favorite, her star pervades. Her proverbial voice does shatter glass. In absence of spotlight, still darkness fades. A full-range tone, full of comedic sass, as she sings, “Good Morning, Baltimore,” gold. Her proverbial voice does shatter glass. A bow and bounce of curl, her “Hairspray,” bold. My soul is moved, my eyes are proud with tears, As she sings, “Good Morning, Baltimore,” gold. Her lilting song: “I Can Hear The Bells,” cheers With heart and soul, with angel’s wings, their lift. My soul is moved, my eyes are proud with tears. A bashful child no longer hides her gift. A prisoner she’s not - breaks out of cage, With heart and soul, with angel’s wings, their lift. We’re thunderstruck, she’s breathtaking on stage. 5/6/2022

My granddaughter with her voice out of the cage, performing son from the musical Hairspray! Oh my heart and tears! Don’t know where she gets her talent but directly from God! :)
