Adoration

Calling our name, reaching up high Light sparkles, in eyes so wide That step on stage, roaring rushing tide Is it all that I wanted? speaks the mind All these faces, hands held high Hearts beating, music, mesmerized Do they love just, only what they see Or love those dreams, they made of me We dance, we glow, it feels alive love is felt, in borrowed lives Our stories rise in bookshelves tall At concert's end, silence falls Adoration, the waves of song Magic, lifting, breathing, strong Is it reality, what they see Their admiration, fantasy Adoration, on shoulders high Moments, memories, blurring, lights Sing my name, but when i'm gone Will futures know, that I belonged Dress like me, or steal my lines Retrace my steps in borrowed times Hearts, reflections, not my face Our timelines scattered, out of place Stories twist, like dancers spines and claim our world, want our life A thousand voices, not our own Adoring crowds, yet we're all alone Like a shrine, devouring majesty Their world worships our imagery We try to give them, all they need To fall in love, an act, reality Adoration, bonds so strong Lifts me up, don't get me wrong It this a burden, none can see To be another's, fantasy Adoration, strange and bright Lost in dreams, blurred by lights Sing my name now, but when it's gone Will I still feel like I belonged If we left the crowd, and the stage Who will stay, and turn this page Without these sounds, can you stay To carry my voice, if no music plays Adoration, for you, I take it all But truly I'd trade, love from all To be me, not what you see Pure, untouched by fantasy Adoration, I feel that crush Many's dreams have turned to dust If our music fades or rises up To tell our story is enough The last verse fades, curtains fall Backstage silent, I told it all Not for their dreams, this was made I walked away, I'm still the same
