We Are Merely Actors


We are merely actors
Upon a glorious stage
Breathe in, step out
Start afresh on a brand new page

We are merely actors
Upon a silver cloud
Close you eyes, listen
Listen to the cheers of the crowd

We are merely actors
Flying on flames of gold
Open up, be free
Let the joy take hold

We are merely actors
Upon the flowing strand
We may tame the dragon
The world is in our hand

We are merely actors
For all the world to see
Standing tall, proud
Forever and always free

We are merely actors
Legends of our age
The audience are our believers
The world is our stage
