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
