Someone has told me

I am merely an actor

On life’s great stage.

“What is my motivation?” I finally yell

To the mysterious void

That lies just beyond

The blinding floodlights.

“Somebody’s playing the hero.

Somebody’s playing the fool.

Somewhere in the middle 

Is You,

Be what ya wanna be!’

Someone else has stated

That in the great party of life

All we, are guests.

We shouldn’t want to stay too long,

But I feel I just got here.

I want to eat, at least.

I’d like to dance,

Have some cake.

They tell me I’m too greedy, but

I’d like to spend the night with you,

Make love,

And wake in the sunrise

As the party continues.

Now tell me,

Is that really wanting too much?

“Somebody’s playing the hero.

Somebody’s playing the fool.

Somewhere in the middle 

Is You,

Be what ya wanna be!’
