The Cue

I step into the spotlight
that shines over me
I hear the sound of thunder
it's because of me

I step out as a person
that is himself
But trying to act
like somebody else

I look down at myself
all covered in costume
I'm all made-up
to be who I'll assume

Someone speaks, I hear them talk
it sinks into my head
Then I let it disappear

I'm an actor…waiting for his cue
