All the world's a stage And all men and women, merely players I stand at the crossroads While the traffic of life goes by To and fro providing me with choices Back home in my kitchen I stare at the clock on the wall I note the ticks and think of voices Like a swinging door, my mind is ajar, but Repeat offenses, have consequences So keep the status quo, do what you know Break the ice, turn the wheel Let me know, how you feel Bonded in transparency I see you and you see me Turn the key to your heart Let the transformation start From the beast within the cage To your place upon the stage Engaged at my workplace My mind full of emptiness I find identity in my actions Driving my car round Stopping at lights, stopping to think Grimacing at words and satisfactions Like a swinging door, my mind is ajar, but Repeat offenses, have consequences So keep the status quo, do what you know Break the ice, turn the wheel Let me know, how you feel Bonded in transparency I see you and you see me Turn the key to your heart Let the transformation start From the beast within the cage To your place upon the stage Turn the key to your heart Let the transformation start From the beast within the cage To your place upon the stage Turn the key to your heart Let the transformation start From the beast within the cage To your place upon the stage They have their exits and their entrances And one person in their time plays many parts
