Limelight

Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal

For those who think and feel in touch with some reality

Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role ill-equipped to act

With insufficient tact

One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight, the universal dream for those who wish to see, those who wish

to be, must put aside the alienation, get on with the fascination, the real relation,

underlying thing. Living in a fish island, caught in the camera eye, I have no heart to lie, I can't

pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend. All the world's indeed a stage, we are merely players,

Performers and portrayers, each another's audience outside the gilded cage.

Living in the limelight, the universal dream for those who wish to see.

Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation.

Get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme.
