When I walk behind blue curtains I hear some say
We are just actors in the big play each with our role
It is like a theatre in full play.

I then say welcome behind the blue curtain!
As you can hear the music play and the pretty girls sing
The show is on!

One should just open eyes and ears and enjoy the show
As the curtain go because many things is behind it you
just Need to find it.

You will get it straight from the heart and I hope you
were The one who liked it when the curtain falled and it
is the Hope you will be standing at your seat in the finale.

When the curtains fall and the lights go off I hope you
Leave with one more dream to dream and some more
light To see and some more emotion to feel. "
