In the land where football's king
England's team made the crowd sing
The match was fierce, the night was long
Victory's sweet, hear the fans' song
Oh, the world's a stage, Ariana said
Live theatre's vital, in times of dread
With headlines dark, and fears so high
We need the arts to lift us to the sky
In Denver's streets, a tragic tale
A woman's life, the system failed
A knife in hand, the night turned grim
The city's shaken, hearts feel dim
Oh, the world's a stage, Ariana said
Live theatre's vital, in times of dread
With headlines dark, and fears so high
We need the arts to lift us to the sky
In the South China Sea, ships collide
Philippines and China, tensions high
While back at home, the interest fades
Filipinos turn from the news they made
Ariana's voice on Tony's night
A beacon shining, pure and bright
In global moments, terrifying
We find our hope in art's undying
Oh, the world's a stage, Ariana said
Live theatre's vital, in times of dread
With headlines dark, and fears so high
We need the arts to lift us to the sky
England's cheer, a fleeting ray
In tragic news, we find our way
Through arts and songs, we rise above
In every headline, seek the love
