The Open Mic

There's once in a lifetime

There's only today

There's wait for the right time

There's close your eyes and pray

There's super bowl Sunday

There's Saturday night

There's what if, there's someday

And there's the open mic

Tie the laces

On your lucky All Star shoes

Practice your faces

In the mirror as you run your tunes

Now your moments arrived

And you even remembered to tune

And you recite your introduction

Like your mom told you to

All you bedroom dreamers

All you kindly creatures

Every telephone wire sneaker

Every lonely preacher

All the Thunder Road covers

All the 2nd marriage lovers

Every empty bleachers

Every tired teacher

All the lovely sinners

All the tv dinners

Every misunderstanding

Every perfect landing
