Curtain Call by Ben Fankhauser Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The feeling you're falling
The nerves in the air
The chance of a lifetime is waiting right there
Is this the beginning
Or is it the biggest mistake?

A hundred auditions
And where was my part?
Was it unwritten or lost from the start?
How many times can I miss out on my big break?

[Pre-Chorus]
But still
Will I blaze a trail on my own?
Or fade away into the unknown?

[Chorus]
All of these years on an uncertain line
I sang out my heart until singing was crying
The dreams
And the yearning
Kept burning
A powerful fire
But little by little
I'm losing the flame
Get up my hopes but it's always the same
I must be crazy to chase after this desire

[Pre-Chorus]
But still
Will I blaze a trail on my own?
Or fade away into the unknown?

[Refrain]
Some dreams
They treat you like nothing at all, nothing at all
And sometimes
It hurts to read the truth on the wall, the truth on the wall
And I don't know how far I'm gonna fall
Or if I'll ever see my curtain call

[Refrain]
Some dreams
They treat you like nothing at all, like nothing at all
And sometimes
It hurts to read the truth on the wall, the truth on the wall
And I feel the fear
And maybe I'm meant for the fall
But I'm gonna see my curtain call
I feel the fear
And maybe I'm meant for a fall
But life on the stage is worth it
And I'm gonna keep on working
'Cause I wanna hear my curtain call

And still I can hear the curtain call
