Act it out, play your part, life is simply portrayal.
Build your image, take a risk, see what happens next.
Watch the moon, question the stars, paint your own philosophy.
Wait for luck, make your own, you have only to gain.
Find someone, build someone, create your own legacy.
Start laughter, keep humor, find pleasure in other's joy.
Feel the pain, wave off death, it's only part of the trip.
Hear the music, consume the song, furnish your own harmony.
Fight the storm, mock the power, then act more powerful.
Use emotion, discuss your feelings, but hide forbidden truths.
Wear a mask, make a costume, prepare to play your part.
