True Story

I was overjoyed to say the least

Finally going to see

Our Lady Peace

My favorite band since 2001

A 2 hour drive but

I would have run

Arrived early and stood front row

Excitement really starting to grow

Cheered impatiently for

the opening band

It was a wait I almost couldn't stand

They were done and lights went out

The crowd began to

scream and shout

A hush fell when the

first notes were fed

The lights came on,

almost

lost

head

Time flew and it was

over too fast

I couldn't believe it was

now in the past

Walked outside with a tear in my eye

Hugged the drummer

when the band walked by

Just as I thought it was

all said and done

I turned and smiled

as bright as the sun

Standing amidst a gathering throng

Stood Raine Maida,

who sings every song

Everyone else seemed to disappear

Along with them

went all of my fear

I didnt even bother to wait my turn

Walked right to him,

they could all burn

He turned and his smile

matched my own

I told him the band

was now well known

By every single person I see

Knew who they were because of me

He hugged me and gave me

a kiss on the cheek

Had to steady myself

as my knees grew weak

It was the greatest night of my life

That it was over

cut

knife.
