Your words are empty and running low
Those racing thoughts begin to slow
Your crowd's filing out, row by row
The lights dim as you end your show
Smile big and take your bow
Take a breath and look around
For things will never be like now
These feet will never touch this ground
Take in every corner of this stage
And read over every letter on this page
Embrace every aspect of this day and age
Pack away your delight and rage
Go ahead, cry and mourn
Don't worry that you're feeling worn
Take a break, no need to perform
Rest up, for soon you'll be reborn
On a bigger stage, better and new
Built with care just for you
Brush the curtains as you walk through
This show is not over, stand by for act II
