Acts of Life Lived On a Stage
Everybody's life is
played
Magically upon a
stage
Shown in front of
everyone
Till our show is
finally done
No more acts to play
and share
The curtains
drawn--we disappear
Into a different
time and space
No more make-up on
your face
Making you a shining
star
But covers who you
really are
Someone trying to
get through
The acts of life we
have to do
New emotions every
day
From re-writes that
come our way
Never knowing how to
feel
Sometimes it just
doesn't seem real
As we're acting out
our parts
From the moment that
we start
Breathing on this
planet earth
Ever since our time
of birth
We have people in
our lives
Husbands, teachers,
bosses, wives
Friends and
kids--outsiders too
Scripting us our
lifetime through
Adapting to all the
scenes
Every feeling in
between
Drama, joy and
happiness
Love, enjoyment,
even death
Will fill each and
every page
Of our life upon
this stage
That we should try
and make grand
A show so big it
fills the land
With everybody's
acting skills
Giving other actors
thrills
They can use between
the pain
That will come time
and again
On the stage were up
then fall
Until our final
curtain call
