Lucky Dube Lyrics
"Mask"

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.
