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.
