Limelight

Living on a lighted stage

Approaches the unreal

For those who think and feel

In touch with some reality

Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in some unlikely role,

Ill-equipped to act

With insufficient tact

One must put up barriers

To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight

The universal dream

For those who wish to seem - - -

Those who wish to be - - -

Must put aside the alienation

Get on with the fascination

The real relation

The underlying theme - - -

Living in a fisheye lens

Caught in the camera eye

I have no heart to lie

I cant pretend a stranger

Is a long-awaited friend

All the worlds indeed a stage

And we are merely players

Performers and portrayers

Each anothers audience

Outside the gilded cage

Living in the limelight

The universal dream

For those who wish to seem - - -

Those who wish to be - - -

Must put aside the alienation

Get on with the fascination

The real relation

The underlying theme - - -

The real relation

The underlying theme - -
