On with The SHOW!!!!!!

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on - yeah
Ooh inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Yeah, oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends

The show must go on - yeah
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to fight the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show

The show must go on, go on, go on, go on ...

The day after my grandfather died, I dreamed about this song. I knew the song, but didn't pay much attention to it because I wasn't the "only lyrics kinda guy". From that night on I started to concentrate only on lyrics.

My grandfather was the only male around me while growing up, because my father died when I was 4. So you can call him my second father. I loved him very much, and his death made me cry like never before.

After I dreamed about this song I instantly got it on MP3 for I had only owned it on tape. I listened to it, and honestly, it was very hard to hold my emotions back:) I listen to it when I'm low and it helps me to get some power.

The death of my grandfather was 4 years ago on the 20th of November... Since then, The Show Must Go On from Queen has become my favorite song, not only because of my grandfather, but because I have the feeling that it is about me.

This writing is full of emotions. It is really good that you can write down your deep feelings.
Unfortunately I couldn't get to know my grand-fathers.
