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 seem. Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation, Get on with the fascination, The real relation, The underlying theme.
Living in a fisheye lens, 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 And we are merely players: Performers and portrayers, Each another's audience Outside the gilded cage.

No matter what I was going through
Now help me, but know I'm still on your side
I’m not afraid of anything, I’ve got the whole world in front of me
What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
you had me at hello
I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
It's simply radiant, I feel more with everyday that goes by
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.

To keep oneself intact.

The real relation,
The underlying theme.

And we are merely players:
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.
