Set the Stage
Unveiling Life's Script: Set the Stage
Lyrics
I see you shuffle on the set when you stand inside it.
I observe you making adjustments on the stage as you stand on it.
And there's applause raining down that won't last.
There's applause showering down, but it won't last.
And it's the lines that I forget that keep me around, I guess.
Forgettable lines are what keep me engaged, perhaps in anticipation of something better.
For something better yet.
Implies a desire or hope for a more fulfilling situation or experience.
Now there are fair weather friends.
People who are only supportive in favorable conditions.
And there are fools besides us.
There are also foolish individuals like us in this situation.
Who would learn every turn and twist somehow.
Those who are willing to learn and adapt to every twist and turn.
And they're standing in the wings, and the the half light flickering
They are waiting in the wings, and the dim light is flickering.
