Caitlin 's P.O.V

"I've tried to cover my shine, I've tried staying the lines, I, I, I don't wanna hide. No not tonight." I sang, smiling into the crowd. Julie walked over to the edge of the stage, reaching out into the audience and touching people's hands. Raising the microphone to her lips, she began to sing her line.

"You, you, you want me to take my light, light. Fit it in your box, right? I want you to look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye."

                The music got louder as we approached the chorus and I raised the microphone to my lips, ready to sing. As I wait for it to come I walked over to the other side of the stage, reaching out and touching the audience's hands.

"Ready or not, here, here, here I come. I'm about to show you where the light comes from. Oh, oh, oh ready or not here, here I come. This is who I am I won't hide it. I'mma take it all over the world, to the young, to the old, every boy and girl. Ready or not, here, here I come. I'mma show the world where the love is."

                Our voices sounded really great together, harmonizing well. I'm really glad to be singing this song, it's one of my favorites that we have for our next song. Anyway, Liz ran over to the front of the stage, standing in the middle.

"I'm not ever selling out love. A love out loud is what it's all about. Giving everything to see the lost get found, yeah it's going down." We all moved over to the and switched positions, I was now in the middle to sing my next part.

"You, you, you want me to take my light, light. Fit it in your box, right? I want you to look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye." We all moved closer to the audience, singing the chorus.

"Ready or not, here, here, here I come. I'm about to show you where the light comes from. Oh, oh, oh ready or not here, here I come. This is who I am I won't hide it. I'mma take it all over the world, to the young, to the old, every boy and girl. Ready or not, here, here I come. I'mma show the world where the love is."

                The music did a quick little skip type sound, which was Liz's cue to get ready for her - and my - favorite part of the song. Julie and I backed up, letting her take the center stage. She raised the microphone to her mouth and bent down a bit, touching her hand against the people around the front row.

"I refuse to keep this buried deep inside of me, yeah this little light of mine, it's time to let it shine a bit. 'Cause there's no point in hiding it, it's everything I am. The source of all my hope and it's the reason why I stand. And I pledge allegiance to be somebody real, there's not more holding it back I'm showing them how I feel 'cause love is more than a word it's a noun, and a verb, and hiding it is absurd. Ya heard."

                While Julie and I launched into another chorus, Liz song the first note hanging out the 'not' in it. We kept going with the chorus while she waited for the next back up. Eventually it came up and she hit the note perfectly. After the chorus finished Julie and I kept repeating the next part of the song while Liz held out some of the larger notes. It's a nice change honestly, especially because it's either Julie or I that were holding out the notes.

                The song finished and through the earpieces we were told to get off the stage. My smile faltered a little bit, but I waved to some of the fans nonetheless. Saying goodbye to them is always the hardest because I love them all so much. They've made my dream - Julie and Liz's too - come alive. Without them, we'd be nowhere. Saying goodbye to them kills me because I might never see them again.
