[Verse 1]
You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page
You are the ears of the listener
I am the voice of the picture
Together we can act out the age

[Chorus]
All the world is a stage all the people are players
Turn on the spotlight it's yours
All the world is a stage, all the people are players
Ring up the curtain, applause
One thing's for certain, it's yours!

[Verse 2]
You are the sense of occasion
Mine is a standing ovation
Your pleasure is only at your command
You are to set the example
I am the one to portray it
To measure the storm that follows the calm

[Chorus]
All the world is a stage all the people are players
Turn on the spotlight it's yours
All the world is a stage, all the people are players
Ring up the curtain, applause
One thing's for certain, it's yours!
[Bridge]
The start and end to every story is the same
But what comes in between you have yourself to blame:
It makes no difference at all
Just pick yourself when you fall

[Verse 3]
You are the eyes of the reader
And I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page
You are the brain of the thinker
And I am the face of expression
Together we can act out the age

[Outro]
'Cause all the world is a stage all the people are players
Turn on the spotlight it's yours
All the world is a stage, all the people are players
Ring up the curtain, applause
One thing's for certain, it's yours!
So ring up the curtain, applause
