You, Me, Us
Lindsey looked through the gap curtain, full house the school hall was full with mum, dad and kids. Panic, her Mom and Dad was sat in the third row back they were in deep conversation. She blew out a large sigh. She turned to Brooke Stokes her best friend.
"I can't do this, I just can't" she rushed out
"Yes you can, you'll be amazing, and you've worked hard and how long for?" Brooke reassured.
"Weeks maybe months" Lindsey shook her knees as they grew weak.
"Right you go out there and show them what ya got" Brooke demanded.
"Right places everyone" Mrs Whitehall shouted clapping her hands.
Lindsey signed once again, one of her classmates passed her a mic. She stood in position in center stage, she stole one last glance at Brooke who smiled and gave her a thumbs up. Lindsey smiled and winked. Then the curtains where pulled when her name was announced. She was greeted by scream and cheers. She glanced at her parents who were on their feet.. As the music started her fears and nerves disappeared.
You've got the words to change a nation
but you're biting your tongue
You've spent a lifetime stuck in silence
afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song
So come on, come on
Come on, come on.
You've got a heart as loud as lions
so why let your voice be tamed
Baby we're a little different
there's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
so stop hiding it away
Come on, come on
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out.
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
At night we're waking up the neighbours
while we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered
Yeh, cos we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden
then we're breaking all the rules
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
Let's get the TV and the radio
to play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got some air play of our version of events
There's no need to be afraid
I will sing with you my friend
Come on, come on
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh
We're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful ?
Now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance, come help me sing this
Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
Just take a chance, come help me sing this
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna sing
I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Lindsey lowered her mic and smiled. She glanced at her parents who were on their feet. She poked her tongue out to her father who chuckled back. Once the curtains where closed Lindsey dropped her mic and ran into Brooke's arms.
"OMG you were great, amazing" Brooke gushed.
"Yeah you sure" Lindsey breathed.
"Of course I'm sure, seriously you were incredible" Brooke reassured.
"Aww thanks B, you're the best" Lindsey gushed as she gave Brooke a tight hug.
"Where is she, Cath where gunna be late the ticket runs out in 6 minutes" Gil huffed.
"Gil would you stop whining it not attractive" Cath signed grabbing the keys.
" You wouldn't be saying that if we get a ticket" Gil smirked.
"No your right I wouldn't because I wouldn't be the one paying it" Catherine smirked in return.
He poked out his tongue causing her to chuckle. Lindsey pushed her way through the crowd.
"Sorry, sorry, excuse me, sorry. MOVE" She became inpatient. She saw her parent stood by exit.
"Dad, Mom" She shouted.
She ran into the Dad arms.
"Honey I'm so proud of you" He held her tight.
"Really?" She asked.
She glanced lovingly into her dads eyes, she could see the pride in his eyes. She didn't care other people of her, her family or her life. If her parents where proud and loved her nothing, nobody else mattered. Just her, Gil Grissom, Catherine Grissom that's what mattered. Family only mattered.
