Out of the Wings

[Intro]
[Verse]
The velvet curtain shakes
A quiet promise breaks
Ten years of watching from the dark
Waiting to leave my mark
I know each line by heart
Tonight I play the part
[Pre-Chorus]
The ghost light fades away
I hear the cello play
No more holding back the tears
I paid for this with years
[Chorus]
Step out of the wings
Hear how my spirit sings
No longer just a shadow in the hall
I will answer when they call
This stage is finally mine
It is my time to shine
[Verse]
The chorus shoes I wore
Scuffed on the wooden floor
I hid my tears inside
Swallowing all my pride
[Pre-Chorus]
The stage manager calls
Through these historic walls
My hands begin to shake
This is the path I make
[Chorus]
Step out of the wings
Hear how my spirit sings
No longer just a shadow in the hall
I will answer when they call
This stage is finally mine
It is my time to shine
[Bridge]
They told me I was second best
Put my devotion to the test
I watched them take the bow
But look at me now
I stood in line
Waiting for my design
Now the spotlight is bright
And I own the night
[Build-up]
The conductor raises the baton
All the doubt is finally gone
I take a giant leap
A promise I will keep
[Chorus]
I step into the light
Ready to claim my right
No longer hiding in the deep dark space
I finally found my place
The music starts to rise
Look in my eyes
I will fly
Touch the sky
[Post-Chorus]
The stage is mine
It's time to shine
I am here
Without fear
[Outro]
