Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition
Butterflies floating in my stomach
I can’t stop them
From going round and round
My nerves tingle and tumble
I can’t hold them down
The crowd roars with excitement
My fear grows
While the crowd gives a cheer
My nerves tingle and tumble
And the music starts to rumble
There is an immense thunder of sound
Butterflies in my stomach
Are floating around
I smell a smoky breeze
My body begins to freeze
I step on stage at Wakakirri!
