We Act


I act

I act on stage

I act for myself

I act for my audience

I act to my audience

I act to myself

I am on stage

I act

 

You act

You act to me

You act to yourself

You are always on stage

Giving the performance of a lifetime

And you don’t see it as a crime

That you act

 

True actors don’t act

They live
