Life, a grand stage, where we all play our part,
Life, a grand stage, we act with a beating heart.
As curtains rise, as curtains fall, salutes we impart,
We act our roles, life, a grand, swirling art.
We act our roles, as curtains rise and fall,
Salutes we give, heeding destiny's call.
We act our roles, life, embracing all.

In this play, applause may ring, a sweet sound,
Or harsh words flung, where judgment is found.
We play the hero, or villain profound,
Our name, our fame, on shifting ground.
We act our roles, life, a fleeting sound.
We act our roles, as curtains rise and fall,
Salutes we give, answering fate's beck and call.
We act our roles, life, encompassing all.

Ask not of truth, for we are chameleons,
Ask not of truth, we shift with the seasons.
None may know us, our true comprehensions,
We weave our masks, our elaborate pretensions.
We act our roles, life's hidden designs.
We act our roles, as curtains rise and fall,
Salutes we give, embracing one and all.
We act our roles, life, until we fall.
