Runway Lady

Backstage quiet, but my heart is loud Fixing my dress while I look at the crowd They don’t see the hours, the weight, the climb They just see the moment I cross that line I learned how to stand when my knees would shake How to smile when everything’s at stake Now the curtain’s waiting, I hear my cue And I know exactly what I came to do I walk from backstage into the light Everything changes the second I arrive No hesitation, no looking down I turn the silence into sound This is my moment, watch it unfold Every step turning pressure to gold I don’t ask — I just become And the room goes numb Used to be small in a world too wide Now I take up space, I don’t try to hide Every “no” that I turned into fuel Every lesson made me something new Now I don’t break when the lights get bright I was made for this kind of night If they remember only one thing I do Let it be how I walked right through I walk from backstage into the light Everything changes the second I arrive No hesitation, no looking down I turn the silence into sound This is my moment, watch it unfold Every step turning pressure to gold I don’t ask — I just become And the room goes numb
