waiting for the song to play

if a rose by any other name
still smells as sweet
why do we keep on
trying so hard

and if birds of one feather
always flock together
why do we keep on
drifting apart

if the world's a stage
why do we have to pay
to be like puppets on a string
waiting for our song to play

and if life is a box of chocolates
why do we fill our pockets
with things that
other people throw away

hey hey
please come out and play
hey hey
let's run away

and if one man's meat
is another man's poison
i'll be your wine and
you'll be my medicine

and if the grass is greener
on the other side
well it might
doesn't hurt to be sometimes colourblind

if the world's a stage
why do we have to pay
to be like puppets on a string
waiting for our song to play

and if life is a box of chocolates
why do we fill our pockets
with things that we don't really
want to taste

hey hey
please come out and play
hey hey
let's run away

though the path is long and narrow
would you take the road less travelled
with me
and though it's hard to face tomorrow
there's a light beyond the tunnel
you'll see

hey hey
please come out and play
hey hey
let's run away
