"Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while, but in time..."

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around. Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays. I'll send 'em howling, I don't care, I got ways. No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare. Others can desert you, not to worry, whistle, I'll be there. Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while, but in time... Nothing can harm you, not while I'm around... Not to worry, not to worry. I may not be smart but I ain't dumb. I can do it, put me to it. Show me something I can overcome. Not to worry. Being close and being clever ain't like being true. I don't need to, I would never hide a thing from you, like some... Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around. Nothing's gonna harm you, darling, not while I'm around. Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while, but in time...

This year, I'm auditioning for GSA, the Governor's School for the Arts, in the area of Musical Theater. I'm pretty nervous about it, but I'm just going to try my best and see what happens from there. I already have two songs selected, which are "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" from The Sound of Music and "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd. "Not While I'm around" is probably my favorite song from any musical. It just has so much emotion, and I hope to portray it whenever I try out for GSA in March. The lyrics are just all so true, and not hard for me to relate to. I've learned how it feels to want to protect others from hurt and deception, and to prove that my promises are more than just words. Maybe one day it'll show, and maybe one day, you'll see.

  3. I'm not too sure about musical theater, but whenever I tried for art it was very laid back. Don't worry about it. (x
