OPEN MIC MIDNIGHT nova music nova originals

Tiny stage beside the corner, Neon sign above the door. Ten strangers holding conversations, Maybe less, maybe more. Hands are shaking on the fretboard, Heart is racing in my chest. I've spent years imagining this moment, Now it's standing every test. One microphone. One spotlight. One chance tonight. Open mic midnight, Standing in the light. Every dream I've carried Finally takes flight. Open mic midnight, A room I've never known. But for the first time in my life, These songs are not alone. Somebody's staring at their phone, Somebody's barely paying mind. But I keep singing every word Like this is my defining night. Every lyric feels exposed, Every note feels far too real. But somewhere in the middle of the song, I forget the fear I feel. The room grows quiet. The noise fades out. And suddenly I hear myself. Open mic midnight, Standing in the light. Every dream I've carried Finally takes flight. Open mic midnight, A room I've never known. But for the first time in my life, These songs are not alone. Maybe nobody remembers. Maybe I'll still ride the train home. Maybe tomorrow looks exactly Like every day I've known. But something changed inside me. Something finally came alive. I stood before a room of strangers And watched my dream survive. After the last chord faded... One voice stopped me near the door. "Hey..." "That song was beautiful." And somehow... That was enough. Open mic midnight, Standing in the light. Every dream I've carried Finally takes flight. Open mic midnight, The city knows my name. Not because I'm famous yet, But because I showed up anyway. Open mic midnight, And now I understand. Every legend starts as someone Playing for a nearly empty stand. The room is closing... The chairs are stacked... The city keeps moving... And I'll be back...
