Print | Song List


Well	you might be a rich man

Or you might be a poor man

But we're all actors in a


play


And	you might be the president

or a social housing resident

But we acting out our assigned roles every


day

If you are a

poor man


Then	be an excellent


poor man


And	play that as

well as you

can

If you are a

sick man

Act that role


well and

be the best

possible sick

man


Well	you might get applauded

or you might be derided

you might get good or bad


reviews


You might	be a prima dona

or you might have a bit part

which part you play isn't yours to


choose


And	if you are a

rich man

be a righteous


rich man

be the best

rich man you can


And	if you are a

great man


Be a	humble


great man

play that part

admirab

ly,


please


Well	you might be in the spotlight

or you might be in the background

or you might have the leading


role


But	how long you are on stage for

a minute or an hour

is something outside of your


control


If you	live to be an

old man


of	if you die a


young man

live your life

happy and

free


And	if you are a

king


of	if you are a


beggar

be the best

person you can
