The curtain of clouds has cleared The sun lights the stage A new day, a new act will be staged All of us are wearing masks The show has begun Acting is our forte Sometimes we are a child Crying out for attention In another scene we are parents Teaching our children An employee at the office Or a spouse at home The show is a thriller With a host of surprises It has action and emotion Humour and suspense You can have popcorn and coke during the show too We get carried away in our roles An emotional roller-coaster The scenes keep changing And new actors appear Time just fleets by And we have grown old When will you throw that mask away? How long can you hide behind that shadow? Suppressing your true self The curtains will soon fall And the sun will set Come out of that cocoon And live life carefree © copyright skm

The mask
The curtain of clouds has cleared The sun lights the stage A new day, a new act will be staged All of us are wearing masks The show has begun Acting is our forte Sometimes we are a child Crying out for attention In another scene we are parents Teaching our children An employee at the office Or a spouse at home The show is a thriller With a host of surprises It has action and emotion Humour and suspense You can have popcorn and coke during the show too We get carried away in our roles An emotional roller-coaster The scenes keep changing And new actors appear Time just fleets by And we have grown old When will you throw that mask away? How long can you hide behind that shadow? Suppressing your true self The curtains will soon fall And the sun will set Come out of that cocoon And live life carefree © copyright skm
