ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on a passage from AS YOU LIKE IT by Shakepeare


All the world's a stage
no matter how you rage
and all the men and women merely players

they come and then they go
they seek and then they know
and then they grow so old and gray

one man in his time
may play at many parts
before he draws in his last breath

the scenes go rolling by
he lives and then he dies
and makes a speech before his death

the curtain then will close
the audience goes home
the actors go to town and drink

the moon flies over town
and sullenly goes down
into the sea and there to sink

the time to act is gone
but still the play goes on
and what's not real becomes the truth

and lie becomes a myth
and promise only if
you can remember days of youth

all the world's a stage
all the world's a stage
turn another page
all the world's a stage

and all that we conceive
and all our eyes perceive
is only what we can believe
only what we can believe
