A Moment In The Spotlight

For me adorement outspoken

Along with the blinding flashlights

Pieces of me are wanted and taken

I had never before felt stagefright

It was a song that just came through me

Like hundreds before had done

But this one had a different feel

This time I wrote too good a song

I'm told my soul is sold

For the moment in the spotlight

I never knew the price

Of the moment in the spotlight

I will be played through, then I'm gone

After the show is the light-switch turned

That much of the place in the sun

I should have let that note-sheet burn

Tomorrow I'll have a new song

To strike a fresh new note

Back to basics where I belong

I wish the system would let me out
