Power of the Mind
Life is one big illusion
The power of magic
What you think is there isn't really there at all
You make the mistake of seeing what you believe to be true
Once uncovered nothing appears as you saw it
You get caught up in the imagination of what you wish you could see
The different colors that fill the mind
The magical powers that pull at your heart
All it really does pull you apart
And then you are back right at the start
Nothing to have , nothing to hold
But no one could tell you because you wouldn't be told
You hang on to your imagination
Hoping you will see what's to be revealed
Once the illusion has taken over your heart and the colors fill your mind
Then it's all been lifted and your back at the start
Seeing things in a simple way is so hard to do
But just relax and see what is best for you
Staying and facing the world without its magical powers and the bright colors that fill your mind
Is some times easier and kind
Believe what you want and see what you need to see
But at the end of the day in the world it's just what you need that matters
