The Actor
When the curtain rose he was center stage
Collecting a crowd with his eyes
His common clothes showed no sign of age
Gave no indication of size
He began to speak with a face of fear
His words were a whisper of sound
Though the light was weak I could see the tear
That fell from his chin to the ground
He moved me, captivated me
He drew me into his world
He moved me, and persuaded me
I began to believe he was real
When the curtain fell people walked away
But I couldn't rise from my chair
And I couldn't tell, no I couldn't say
What held me so helplessly there
He moved me, captivated me
He drew me into his world
He moved me, and persuaded me
I began to believe he was real
And the memory will remain with me
And cling to my mind like a glue
Cause he made me feel and he made me see
A part of me I never knew
He moved me, captivated me
He drew me into his world
He moved me, and persuaded me
I began to believe
I began to believe
I began to believe he was real
El Actor
Cuando se levantó el telón, él estaba en el centro del escenario
Atrayendo a la multitud con sus ojos
Su ropa común no mostraba signos de edad
No daba indicación de su tamaño
Comenzó a hablar con un rostro de miedo
Sus palabras eran un susurro de sonido
Aunque la luz era débil, pude ver la lágrima
Que cayó de su barbilla al suelo
Me conmovió, me cautivó
Me atrajo a su mundo
Me conmovió, y me persuadió
Comencé a creer que era real
Cuando cayó el telón la gente se fue
Pero yo no podía levantarme de mi silla
Y no podía decir, no podía decir
Qué me mantenía tan indefenso allí
Me conmovió, me cautivó
Me atrajo a su mundo
Me conmovió, y me persuadió
Comencé a creer que era real
Y el recuerdo permanecerá conmigo
Y se aferrará a mi mente como un pegamento
Porque me hizo sentir y me hizo ver
Una parte de mí que nunca supe
Me conmovió, me cautivó
Me atrajo a su mundo
Me conmovió, y me persuadió
Comencé a creer
Comencé a creer
Comencé a creer que era real
