lyrics

It’s an actor’s battle tryna land the work,
Lunchtimes in some mindless job spent tryna learn the words,
Will this next audition be a dead end or a door,
Will you be left wondering what you could’ve done different,
Anything at all?

You might feel joy,
You might feel blue,
When the actors’ words wash over you,
You may cry,
Be totally absorbed in it,
They’re bringing life to the Author’s script,
Bringing life to the Author’s script

It’s an actor’s battle tryna raise a kid,
Stumbling sleepless through the scenes tryna keep the dark stuff hid,

This little character barely two,
Trying to act just like you,
You may cry, fall apart with it,
They’re bringing life to the Author’s script

And the urge to quit it always there like shadows on a page,
And the unpaid bills keep piling up but you gotta get on stage,
Moving through the play

It’s an actor’s battle tryna live this life,
Tryna figure out what to do and how to it right,

You might feel joy,
You might feel blue,
When the actors words flow out of you,
You may cry,
Fall apart with it,
Your bringing life to the Author’s script,
Bringing life to the Author’s Script.
