VII THE CHARIOT.
Rock n Roll show
Packed house
This is my hometown
Such a grueling long tour
See familiar faces
But I don’t see you
Apprehension fills me
Seeps into my every pore
Peek behind the curtain
My shifting eyes scan the
crowd
Cannot seem to find my
Passion that I’ve had before
Almost time to go on
Doubt creeping, got to play!
Why can’t you see?
This is my gift
Everyone loves
to hear me play
I should feel joy
But I feel numb
For the first time
Something is wrong
Faces begin to blur
Going through the motions
“Prodigal Son returns”
A bitter laugh escapes me
Apprehension fills me
Seeps into my every pore
Peek behind the curtain
My shifting eyes scan the
crowd
Cannot seem to find my
Passion that I’ve had before
Almost time to go on
Doubt creeping, got to play!
Faces begin to blur
Going through the motions
“Prodigal Son returns”
A bitter laugh escapes me
Why can’t you see?
This is my gift
Everyone loves
to hear me play
I should feel joy
But I feel numb
For the first time
Something is wrong
