Nina's Aria

Tomorrow morning
I'll be riding third class
On my way to some God forsaken town
Where the merchants will wink at me
Pinch me and fondle me
Because I'm an actress
How sordid life is

I bore him a child
The child died
I became a seagull
No, I'm an actress, an actress

He made fun of my dreams
He mocked my dreams on becoming a famous actress
Seagull. I became a seagull
But I still had the anguish of love to battle
And jealousy
Remember the seagull you shot
A stranger came along and destroyed it
But I'm an actress now
A real actress
I belong on the stage
I've learned fame doesn't matter
Success doesn't matter
My dreams don't matter
Survivor, knowing how to survive
And keep on surviving
That's all that matters
I'm an actress
I belong on the stage
I believe in myself
When I think of that
My wounds vanish
And I'm no longer afraid
