The World a Stage

Curtain up, fade in
All eyes are on you
Invisible watchers in the dark
Their silence is your cue
Put on the mask of a stranger
Who will soon become our friend
And share his story with us
From begining 'til the end
Conjure laughs with foolery
And tears with pittied souls
Let us think that we reside
In a world that none can know
When the final curtain closes
Our applause both strong and wild
Humor us a curtain call
For giving us cause to smile
We'll keep you 'til you bid goodnight
For we all know without a doubt
Our old lives must begin again

As soon as you fade out
