VERSE 1 Here's something to think about As you're stumbling through your day Does it all come real easy Or are there roadblocks in your way? What if I told you, Life's just a stage to play That every scene you've acted out Was yours to write each day PRE CHORUS You don't believe it, do you? No, I didn't when I was told Then I looked back through the spotlight And I watched the scenes unfold CHORUS When I was just an understudy I thought I had no choice Following the lines they'd written I couldn't find my own voice But every line that I delivered Every locked door that I chose Led me to the next scene And round and round it goes VERSE 2 My choices were not good ones But they were mine for sure No one ever forced me Or pushed me through that door Bad men and bad love I chased them like wildfire Burning in the aftermath Of promises and liars PRE CHORUS I kept looking for the director To come and save the day But I could never find him 'Cause I was directing the play CHORUS Just wanting to be loved Wanting it so bad Led me to the darkness The only choice I thought I had Scene after scene repeated Till my heart said " walk away" That's when I changed the script for good And wrote a better play BRIDGE I finally left the spotlight Walked backstage alone Changed the cast around me And left the set I'd known My part was finally finished The curtain had been drawn There'd be no standing ovation There'd be no more encore FINAL CHORUS Yeah, its as I tell it to you There's no one else to blame I wrote the scenes and all the parts And signed it with my name My life runs real smooth now I don't force or plan or burn I listen to the quiet voice And I learn what I need to learn OUTRO When the final curtain falls And the audience has gone I hope you leave remembering It was your play all along
