He puts on a brave face every morning and every night He goes on stage, with a big smile on his face You split you sides with laughter You are sitting at the of your seat ‘cause you want some more Show is over; he goes home, he takes off his mask Tears running down his face, it's unbelievable We all have our masks on, the world is a stage Go on tell me what is your story Go on don't be shy, what is your story Chorus Behind the Mask of a clown lies a trail of tears Celebrities among us, all the time Big smiles for the cameras around They have lives that we only dream of. But on the inside they hurt just like us, They have things, we only see in the movies The tears we cry, on the outside They cry, on the inside Just like the clown, they go home Take off the masks The world is a stage, go on what is your story. Chorus BEHIND THE MASK OF A CLOWN LIES A TRAIL OF TEARS.
