On A Sunlit Stage

In the carnival is a sunlit stage
For the old of heart and the young of age
Every hidden part will be on display
In the carnival on a sunlit stage

Now I know you've come from a darkened place
But I'll never know how it feels to face
Your own epitaph, on a summers day
As the sun shines with a ceaseless grace

You're surrounded by hungry scavengers
That take the greatest care to befriend you first
As the sun come up they are well rehearsed
Then the sun goes down and the roles reverse

But in the carnival is a sunlit stage
Never in the dark of a morning failed
Your own audience will decide your fate
In a carnival on a sunlit stage.
