The Master Lyrics - Lucky Dube

He puts on a brave face every morning and every night 

He goes on stage, with a big smile on his face 

You split your sides with laughter 

You are sitting at the edge of your seat 

Cause you want some more 

Show is over, he goes home, he takes off his mask 

Tears running down his face, it's unbelievable 

We all have our masks on, the world is a stage 

Go on tell me what is your story 

Go on don't be shy, what is your story 

Chorus 

Behind the Mask of a clown lies a trail of tears 

Celebrities among us, all the time 

Big smiles for the cameras around 

They have lives that we only dream of. 

But on the inside they hurt just like us, 

They have things, we only see in the movies 

The tears we cry, on the outside 

They cry, on the inside 

Just like the clown, they go home 

Take off the mask 

The world is the stage, go on what is your story. 

Chorus 

Behind the mask of a clown lies a trial of tears
