The Grand Charade

((Verse 1) In the zoom of life's frame, tears fall like rain, Every scar and every pain, feels like an endless chain. But step back, take a view, from a distant lane, You'll see laughter in the rain, joy where there was pain. (Chorus) Life's a play of light and shade, a parade of masquerade, Close-up, it's a tragedy, but from afar, it's a serenade. Through the tears, we find our strength, in fears, we're not afraid, For life's a comedy in the grand charade. (Verse 2) Each moment's magnified, when seen from too close, Every sorrow, every sigh, a path that we chose. But from a wider lens, the picture it shows, Is a tapestry of highs, amidst the lows. (Bridge) So let's dance in the rain, embrace the absurd, Find the humor in the pain, the wisdom in the word. For life's a fleeting game, and this much I've heard, It's a comedy at heart, just sometimes blurred. (Chorus) Life's a play of light and shade, a parade of masquerade, Close-up, it's a tragedy, but from afar, it's a serenade. Through the tears, we find our strength, in fears, we're not afraid, For life's a comedy in the grand charade. (Outro) When the final curtain falls, and the lights fade away, We'll take a bow, for the roles we got to play. In the close-up, it was hard, but we'll say, It was a comedy, in the end, anyway.
