Masquerade

Who will I be next?
Throw on a mask, some hairpins, a flowing dress
I'm a famous prima donna

And after that?
Put on a house dress, an apron, hold a baby
I'm house wife

Can you picture me now?
A uniform, a stethoscope, a clipboard
I'm a nurse to the needy

Shall we change the stage?
A rocking chair, cozy slippers, a good book
I'm an old lady, remebering my youth

Some of these characters will come alive
Some are only dreams
I ask you this,
Who am I this time?
