We just entered the arena
Lights flashing all around
This is our first time in the big leagues
Upon this entrance the audience goes wild
Your mind flashes to the first show
Just playin for Pocket change to live off
Now lookin out to the house you think on
Just how far we truly have come
We went from playin all the bars and clubs
Livin on less than you'd need
Trying to keep together
The Pulsing lights flash you back into reality
Back to this stage
To play those songs you slaved for
When you hoped to hear a cheer
Now the lights go down
And you Begin to play
the house starts to clap in unison
as you look out to them
This is finally the big time you made it atlast
What we have now and touring the world
But then you suddenly think
About those you know
About the one you cherished
Its now the end of the set
The encore has finished
The roadies are packing things up
Your bandmates are celebrating in back
The audience has left
When one roadie asks if your done
Just turn around and say
No I am not finished I've just started
And mind if I just hang around
The roadie wouldn't mind you any
The amps are all packed up except yours
The drum riser is being folded into the truck
Now you sit down at the Piano
And you just play as the stage goes black around you..

Like I said above, I wrote this after a show when they where taking our stuff down and I just hung around and played on My electric Piano
