Step up kid, sign your name right here
There's pride to take in being a volunteer
It's not gonna be easy, but we're all of us equal
If you give it your all you can be show people
Can you stand on your head? Can you land on a dime?
Can you find a thousand different ways to say the same line?
Can you show a crowded room the good and the evil?
Do the same when it's empty? You can be show people
Can you sleep where you're sitting, make a pillow from your shoes
Fix an engin? with duct tape, use a string for a fuse?
Can you fly lik? Icarus, land like Evel Knievel?
We'll show you how it's done we are show people
They called us travelling players, fools and troubadours
We did turns for the king, and they still called us whores
Sometimes we've been icons, in the plague years illegal
But we believed in our craft, because we are show people
And I know you've didn't want the hand you were dealt
Let me guess that you were scorned just for being yourself
And you knew in your heart that you had something to say
And you were willing to work at it, through the nights and through the days
On the skills you knew you'd need to say exactly what you mean
They weren't perfect when you started, but you were hungry and you were lean
To be the truest version of yourself, pass through the eye of the needle
Step right up, show 'em what you got
Don't worry, kid, you're gonna show people
Six nights a week, you're gonna show people
Some day, I promise, you're gonna show people
With a matinee on Saturdays, you're gonna show people
You'll probably be disappointed, you'll often be broke
But in airports and at parties, you're gonna smell your own
You're more likely to be John Otway than the Beatles
But Otway's still on tour. Hats off to the show people

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
