So Near-So Far

I thought we were there
We thought we were there
We felt touching it
We could feel the weight

Our pains were gone
Our sorrows were gone
Our eyes could not believe
This was the impossible

The sun was shining very bright
Everything was in line
All dreams flowing in the head
Stars flickering and playing in the head
Was it a dream

Reality was dawning
Sanity was coming to pass in our land
I was feeling alive now
Seems all along I was a walking tomb
But now I see freedom
I see and I dream
About the fruits of freedom

On realisation I saw 
We were deceived
The cruel blow of politics
Has raised its head again
Our dreams are shattered
Our plans and expectations
Are just hallucinations
They wont materialise
Until you join...join...join
Till we overcome!!!!
