Prologue: All The World’s A Stage Lyrics by Shaina Taub

As You Like It (Original Public Works Cast Recording)

0

[JAQUES]
All the world’s a stage
And everybody’s in the show
Nobody’s a pro
All the world’s a stage
And every day, we play our part
Acting out our heart
Year by year, we grow
Learning as we go
Trying to tell a story we can feel
How do you make the magic real?
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
We start as babies
Born unafraid to cry
Puking on our parents’ shirts
Still staring up with wonder at the sky
And then we’re kids
Not yet capable of hate
Freely dancing with each other
Unaware inside our youth
Of a difference between make-believe and truth
[YOUNG ROSALIND & YOUNG ORLANDO]
All the world's a stage
[JAQUES]
Da da da da da da da
[YOUNG ROSALIND & YOUNG ORLANDO]
All the world's a stage
[JAQUES]
Da da da da da da da
Then we get bigger
And think before we play
Give each other stage fright
And worry what the critics have to say
We hide in costume
Pretend we blend in with the scenery
And act the way we’re taught we oughta be
[TWEEN ROSALIND & TWEEN ORLANDO]
All the world's a stage
[JAQUES]
Da da da da da da da
[TWEEN ROSALIND & TWEEN ORLANDO]
All the world's a stage
[JAQUES]
Da da da da da da da
Then we’re almost grown-ups
Trying to fill our parents’ shoes with broken soles
We question our roles
Can’t seem to find our light
Sick of waiting in the wings of the same life
Night after night
Longing for a duet
With someone who truly sees you
We don’t know the words yet
But we’ll sing until we do
All the world’s a stage
And everybody’s in the show
Nobody’s a pro
All the world’s a stage
And every day, we play our part
Acting out our heart
Year by year, we grow
Learning as we go
Trying to tell a story we can feel
How do you make the magic real?
How do you make the magic real?
