The Actor

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
