THE PROLOGUE (Lyrics by Emmi)
Emmi:
Good evening
Welcome to the show
We regret now to inform you
That this evening's entertainment will be me
Please turn off your phones
This moment's all we're given
So be in it, don't be hidden 'hind a screen
And I've never been one to step into the light
Guess I'm frightened of what you might see
But if we've only an hour together ...Whatever!
Let's see what kind of fire is in me
Cos' I can't help feeling
That I'm more than my body
I'm more than my name
Don't you get that feeling?
That we're all so much more than this life
So much more than they say
If you wanna leave then let my friends show you the door.
But if you're gonna stay let's make a deal now to be more
Company:
More than our dreams
More than our minds
More than our skin and our past and our size
More than our hurt
More than this room
I see God in you, can you see God in me too?
Welcome to the Players show!
Come down make yourself at home!
We all need a place to shine
Hold your shadow up to the light
Welcome to the Players show!
Come down make yourself at home!
All we need's a place to shine
For your shadow to come to life.
(End of scene.)
