**[Verse 1]** Perched on my giant box, the world feels small and bright Waves crash on the deck, but my heart stays calm tonight They call me First Mate, the one who keeps it neat Hiding scars with laughter, turning chaos into sweet Pero whispers secrets from inside the latch Old props and broken dreams, we bring them back to match I was drifting, empty, a shadow without a stage Till the Troupe found this fool and wrote me on their page **[Pre-Chorus]** The spotlight burns, but I don’t mind the glow Behind the curtain, only the family knows **[Chorus]** I’m the quiet comedian, painting smiles on the dark Pulling joy from my suitcase, striking sparks in the heart All the world’s a stage, and we’re the players lost and found In this box of stars, I’m never coming down One laugh, one act, one family bound From the girl who had nothing… now I’ve got the whole troupe around **[Verse 2]** Bashful in the corner, but the show must carry on Improv in the thunder, turning fear into a song Heavy gauntlets swinging, Havoc in my stride Yet inside I’m gentle — protecting what’s alive They saved a wandering soul with no place left to roam Gave her silly costumes and a ship that feels like home I’ll tidy every corner, keep the laughter loud and true So no one feels the hollow that I once fell into **[Pre-Chorus]** When the night feels heavy and the waves pull us apart I open up the magic box and light up every heart **[Chorus]** I’m the quiet comedian, painting smiles on the dark Pulling joy from my suitcase, striking sparks in the heart All the world’s a stage, and we’re the players lost and found In this box of stars, I’m never coming down One laugh, one act, one family bound From the girl who had nothing… now the stage is all around **[Bridge]** If the darkness calls me back, whispering my name I’ll stand tall on my box and play another game For every tear I swallowed, a new prop takes its place A silly face, a twist, a warm and safe embrace Pero at my shoulder, the Troupe in every beat We turn what’s broken… into something bittersweet **[Final Chorus – softer, then building]** I’m the quiet comedian, but my love is loud and clear For the fools who chose me, I’ll keep the curtain here All the world’s a stage, and we’ll keep dancing through the storm In this box of stars, I’ve finally found my form One laugh, one act, forever we perform The girl who was lost… is home where she belongs **[Outro]** Perched on my giant box… watching the stars align Thank you for the spotlight… Now the show is mine.
