The mark of a performer
Chapter 1
To perform and carry on
Whether appreciated or not
To smile through tears
And win people's cheers
To act when you are down
But manage nor to frown
To lose , to gain
But never to feel the strain
To laugh when you are laughed at
And your sorrows never to show
To hide your emotions well
And never let people know
To always flow with the tide
Yet not to be taken for a ride
To accept what you get
And when you don't, not to fret
To watch your world come crashing down
And yet not feel a tremor
To be a loser, but still a giver
Is the mark of a true performer
Whether appreciated or not
To smile through tears
And win people's cheers
To act when you are down
But manage nor to frown
To lose , to gain
But never to feel the strain
To laugh when you are laughed at
And your sorrows never to show
To hide your emotions well
And never let people know
To always flow with the tide
Yet not to be taken for a ride
To accept what you get
And when you don't, not to fret
To watch your world come crashing down
And yet not feel a tremor
To be a loser, but still a giver
Is the mark of a true performer
