Slade — All the World Is a Stage

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 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! 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 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! You are the eyes of the reader I am the hand of the writer Together we can fill up a page You are the brain of the thinker I am the fave of expression Together we can act out the age 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! 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 So ring up the certain - applause
