Illusion
If I were you, and you were me
We wouldn’t have to worry
Salvaged by intergrality
We’d live a different story
Inside our own illusion
We’d share our personalities
Illusions aren’t confusion
Illusions make realities
I want to fly, a man once said
The birds can, why can't I?
They laughed at him you must be mad
Climb on the roof and try
Later his daring dream came true
Without that dream of flying
No flights we’d book to get us to
Wherever we desire
Illusions save me from today
Tomorrows petty pace
Continues in the same old way
Days walk across my face
No warning says that it’s too late
Or its too early to begin
If I’m in power to create
Our own prophetic dream
I’ll do my part the best I can
Gale winds will mix my dust
With yours, according to the plan
That is unknown to us.
