Listen "I Am A Performer"
Episode Synopsis
This episode, I Am A Performer, is all about the roles we play in our lives and the "masks" we wear in those roles. Lyrics: I’m going to tell you a story /about a mask/ that I’ve been wearing. It’s just one of many /that I’ve put on/ to get through this life. It’s always the face /of a role I’m in / at that time and place and fits naturally / with what I’m doing / and who I’m with. There is nothing bad / about the choices / of masks for a day. I arise and look / at what needs to be done / and make my choice. Chorus My life has required many choices of masks to wear for my roles and in the bright sun everyday I know ….I am a performer So let me tell you / about some of the roles / I’ve played in my show. It started with son / then brother and student / plus athlete. A boy friend and husband / and then a father / quickly shaped my life and kept me on track / to act and grow / for many years. I did what I could / to provide support / in many professions. I’ve been a salesman / manager, consultant / speaker and writer Chorus Now I am getting closer / and able to see / what’s likely the end The roles I like now / are the ones I’ve had / for the shortest time Now I’m called Grandpa / golfer, musician / and winter snowbird I think of myself / as wiser, content / at my happiest I am who I am / share my life and times / with ease and grace Because the current mask / is the one I wear / with comfort each day
