When the curtain rose he was center stage

Collecting a crowd with his eyes

His common clothes showed no sign of age

Gave no indication of size



He began to speak with a face of fear

His words were a whisper of sound

Though the light was weak I could see the tear

That fell from his chin to the ground



He moved me, captivated me

He drew me into his world

He moved me, and persuaded me

I began to believe he was real



When the curtain fell people walked away

But I couldn't rise from my chair

And I couldn't tell, no I couldn't say

What held me so helplessly there



He moved me, captivated me

He drew me into his world

He moved me, and persuaded me

I began to believe he was real



And the memory will remain with me

And cling to my mind like a glue

Cause he made me feel and he made me see

A part of me I never knew



He moved me, captivated me

He drew me into his world

He moved me, and persuaded me

I began to believe

I began to believe

I began to believe he was real
