Life Tis But A Movie...



Life Tis But A Movie....

I used to think - FREE - we were...
Then a new dawn, coming of age.
Now the World is but a stage...
We are all actors in life’s menagerie.
A thriller, a comedy, a tragedy....
A movie, a series, a sitcom, an act
Who are you, who am I, are we cracked?

I used to think - FREE - we were...
Then a new dawn, coming of age.
Now the World is but a stage...
Will your movie be filled with LOVE?
Happiness, laughter, Angel's - you see.
Soul mates from heaven above.
The happily ever after? I ask thee.

I used to think - FREE - we were...
Then a new dawn, coming of age.
Now the World is but a stage...
A DRAMA? Oh, the possibilities...
A movie filled with hostilities...
People evil and good - understood?
Pain and agony - there you stood...

I used to think - FREE - we were...
Then a new dawn, coming of age.
Now the World is but a stage...
Is your act made in HORROR?
Your life of terror you flee in fear.
The spell cast tis the restorer.
No one wins in the end - OH DEAR...

I used to think - FREE - we were...
Then a new dawn, coming of age.
Now the World is but a stage...
My movie I hope and plea.
Filled with Love, Magic, and mystery...
A lover, an angel, a unicorn too
A fairy, a pixie, and a wish come true.

I used to think - FREE - we were...
Then a new dawn, coming of age.
Now the World is but a stage...
