I am an aspiring lighting technician
When I was young
Flashlights hung on the wall
I labeled them all cause I loved everyone
And my father by his own admission
Don't understand
Why I would stand
In the back
As the audience claps
For an actor or band
'Cause he's seen how his daughter can sing and
He has seen how his daughter can act
And he feels I'd be wasting my life as a li-li-li-lighting tech
Oh, an aspiring lighting technician
Needs things to light
And so tonight
I snuck out of my room to meet up with you guys
So may I present my audition
For your band
I brought my lamps
I'll be performing a piece to a Tchaikovsky dance
I believe light is glowing and giving
It helps everyone shine at their best
And if more people acted like lights
There'd be hope for all the rest
