All The World's A Stage Lyrics

All the world's a stage
And all the people there
Together in one place
Playing games of hide and seek in the dark

So duck and cover, boy
(na na na na na na na)
Find a place where you can hide your pile of toys
(na na na na na na na)
And the monsters, they will come to make their noise
(na na na na na na na)
Turn your back and I will take these fears away
(na na na na na na na)

You fell behind the line (ahhh)
A cage for two good minds (ahhh)
So shame your family's pride
And turn yourself into the thing you can despise

So duck and cover boy
(na na na na na na na)
Find a place where you can hide your pile of toys
(na na na na na na na)
And these monsters, they will come to make their noise
(na na na na na na na)
Turn your back and I will care for all your pain
Close your mind and I will take these threats away

Mmm (ahhh)
Mmm (ahhh)
Mmm

It's time to come and take these fears away
It's time to come and take these fears away
It's time to come and take these fears away
It's time to come and take these fears away

All the world's a stage
And all the people there
Together in one place

(na na na na na na na)
And the monsters, they will come to make their noise
(na na na na na na na)
Turn your back and I will take these fears away

It's time to come and take these fears away
It's time to come and take these fears away
It's time to come and take these fears away
It's time to come and take these fears away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
