Meg Bussert - This Place Is Mine

Where does the time fly
Simply to few hours in a day
Oh a Diva's work is never done
No release No time for fun
Not if a Diva has to run
An Opera Company
Every small detail to supervise
Every pretty face to scrutinize
I plan beneath these eyes
This opera company
Why take on this arduous chore
Sleepless nights
I pace across my bedroom floor
Why do I live completely for
This opera company
Cause it's
Mine from the stalls
To the portraits on the wall
From the balconies and loges
far and near
It belongs all to me
Every item that you see
From the cellars to the
crystal chandelier
From the floating
marble grand facade
To the elevated promenade
From every toilet bowl
To every leading role
This place is mine
I will sing
I will glow
I will never let it go
I will hold it ever captive
in my hand
Like a god
Like a queen
I will enter every scene
And control it like
the kingdom I command
And I pity any baritone
Who attempts to tread
this stage I own
With no polite request
He's here at my behest
Cause it's all mine
My curtain and my canopy
My song
My key
My chart
My grand romantic destiny
From here my life will start
I'll be out on the stage
Looking great
And half my age
Every chance I get
I'll get them on their feet
I'll will burn
I'll will scheme
I will realize my dream
For if I'm not in the light
I'm incomplete
And the best part
I'm just coming to
How they'll all applaud for
You know who
I can't believe I'm here
And this is my career
It must be
Seen like a torch
We'll engrave it on the porch
Like an edict
Like a beacon
Like a sign
This place is mine
