Theater on Second Street
Inspired by a 100 year-old, 300-seat Community Theater.
V1: The neon lights aren’t that bright
In this small theater in this small town
The crowd filters in
The show will soon begin
When we turn the house lights down
CHORUS
And we will sing and dance and tell a story
Like thousands have before
Make the words on the page
Come alive on the stage
When the curtain rises up off the floor
V2: If these old walls could tell us stories
Of the people that sat in these seats
Of the lives that were changed
Of the tales, odd and strange
In this old Theater on Second Street
CHORUS
And we will sing and dance and tell a story
Like thousands have before
Make the words on the page
Come alive on the stage
When the curtain rises up off the floor
BRIDGE
The lights come up,
The downbeat sounds,
The world is new
Lives are put on pause
Freed from our cage on this Majestic stage
That comes awake to the applause
CHORUS
And we will sing and dance and tell a story
Like thousands have before
Make the words on the page
Come alive on the stage
When the curtain rises up off the floor
When the curtain rises up ....
