I am both the puppet
and the puppeteer
when the truth unfolds
I've got nothing to fear

I have no nylon strings
attached to those wings
Everyone's a peasant here
there are no kings and queens

I've got nothing to hide
when I take off my clothes
I 've been working so hard
when I was casting those roles

I have my own theater
and I have my own play
I have my own audience
and they are here to stay

I am the actor, I am the director
I am the whisperer, I am the corrector
Before I act, I reflect,
before I talk, I inspect
I am my own object of respect
whatever I disapprove, I reject
whatever I love, I protect
whatever feels wrong, I neglect
whatever feels good, I collect
I am still learning how to act
and I'm still learning how to connect
I am a beginner
and that's a fact
