Permission to Audition - Michael Angelakos

Some may say

Those who wait

Very often win

They say patience

Is a virtue

In a world of sin

Still I’m praying each and every time I almost win

That my visions will grow up to be proof

You may say

There’s no way

But how can that be?

So would you

Be untrue

And ignore your dreams?

There are some things in this world that I hold dear to me

Like permission to audition for you

Giving girls fancy pearls, gold, and diamonds rings

Weaving worlds of mazurkas and youthful springs

Arias as starry as the stars you scheme

Giving girls just like me empty dreams

So while I

Take the sky

Wrap it right around me

As the audience replies

With such a jubilee

I’m delighted, but still it’d mean the world to me

For permission to audition for you

It’s my mission, make my vision come true
