Performance
Harmony Beyond the Stage: Embracing Life's Final Act
Lyrics
Your performance is almost over
Your performance is nearing its end.
When you're through I will take you home
After your performance, I will escort you home.
To a place where the water's always fresh and cool
To a place where the water is always fresh and cool.
I will lay you down, take off your shoes
I will gently lay you down and remove your shoes.
Yes, the curtain is about to take your place
The curtain is about to close, signaling the end of your role.
There's that sad, almost grin upon your face
You wear a sad, almost grinning expression on your face.
Cause you know you've done your best
You know you've given your best effort.
Now honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you
Leave the rest to me, and I'll take care of you.
As they watch you fall down to your knees
Observers see you fall to your knees.
They don't know that you're praying to please
They are unaware that your prayer is to please.
They don't see the little angel at your back with a star
A little angel at your back with a star supports you.
The only one who knows exactly who you are
This angel is the only one who truly knows you.
You're a thing that makes music they don't understand
You are something that creates music not easily understood.
And they cheer as you carry out your endless plan
Crowds cheer as you execute your intricate plan.
You are weary but you must, it's the only thing you trust
Despite weariness, you persist, trusting in the familiar.
As you live you've got to give
In life, you must give as you live.
Your performance is almost over
Your performance is reaching its conclusion once more.
When you're through I will take you home
After completion, I will guide you home again.
You're a ghost that I can see, you're the other part of me
You are like a visible ghost, the other part of me.
Now honey I will take care of you
I will take care of you, my dear.
Cause you know you've done your best
You've given your best, and now entrust the rest to me.
Now honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you
Leave the remainder to me, and I will care for you.
