TURN THE PAGE
Evening’s coming, daylight’s gone
Sidewalk shuffle, street lights come on
Ready for the night to turn the page
Seats are filled with expectation
Tickets checked, anticipation
Building for the band to take the stage
Music fades, the house goes dark
Flashlight beams cut like a spark
Ignite the night that’s finally come of age
Blinders bring the blackness down
Crowd stands to meet the wall of sound
The show is on it’s time to engage
Let go and just let yourself unwind
Sit back and let the music ease your mind
Let the chaos of the world just melt away
Sit back, relax and let the music play
We play the game resigned to task
We all hide behind a mask
While secretly we’re longing for the lights
To feel our lives played out in song
Raise our voices, thousands strong
The show is finally on, bring on the night
Let go and just let yourself unwind
Sit back and let the music ease your mind
Let the chaos of the world just melt away
Sit back, relax and let the music
Carry you away
Off this battlefield and to a better place
In the labyrinth of memories your mind’s eye
Sees the present and the future have passed by
Let go and just let yourself unwind
Sit back and let the music ease your mind
Let the chaos of the world just melt away
Sit back, relax and let the music
