On each side
Is a different kind of ride
The carnival of dark souls
Looks to give you a roll
The circus of lights
To take away the fright
In the dance of the night
It is the circus that is the sight
That brings out the stars
From near and far
To show off who they think they are
Outside of the dark carnivals of souls bar
When they come out into the night
To be seen in the light
To tell tales of the times had
Both good and bad
To remember when
They engaged in that favorite sin
The one of pride
That starts the ride
Whether the spirals go up or down
Each and every one their own kind of clown
In the Circus of Lights
Outside every night
Every time the performers take to the street to get someone to see
That tonight is the night of the ever growing we
The clowns and the dancers
The seers and romancers
All come down for the show
That has it’s own kind of flow
Down into the dark carnival they go
Returning the circus to remember their own flow
Living works art each and every one
Art forever forming and coming undone
To be reshaped and molded a new
As it is with the ever changing view
It’s a shared stage
Never a cage
The movies of us all colliding
With no need of fighting
Makes for a grander design
A reason for the big line
In this stage we have all taken
It’s that kind of thing that we’ve forsaken
A dance of love
That needs no shove
Friends and brothers and sisters all around
Listen to the sweet sound
Of the circus and the clowns
Never tearing each other down
In the circus of lights
There are no fights
Only bright souls shining bright
Each and every night
