On life’s great stage she plays her role
Despite obstacles and ever present fears
And the quiet whisper of a beautiful soul

Hoping for what will make her whole
The past lingers, always somewhere near
On life’s great stage she plays her role

Fingers grasping tight to stay in control
Smiles that hide the remnants of tears
And the quiet whisper of a beautiful soul

Strength that pushes to stay on goal
Even when darkness takes up the rear
On life’s great stage she plays her role

Hoping to find the confidence they stole
Kicks her need to believe into gear
And the quiet whisper of a beautiful soul

Looking for the gunman upon the knoll
And yet greets each new day with cheer
On life’s great stage she plays her role
And the quiet whisper of a beautiful soul
