How can you be so near to me?
Yet I feel so lost at sea.
Tryin’ hard to talk to you,
Tryin’ hard to hear you, too.
How close was I to gettin’ through?
How close was I to bein’ there with you?
Blue mirror on the wall,
Your reflection says it all.
Pay the price for our inaction
There can be no more distraction.
Stop’n by to clear confusion,
Shine a light on the Grand Illusion.
There will be no more……lies.
We are watching.
Heed the warning
Before the song is sung,
The strength to journey on.
Always hopeful, somethings coming.
Change is from within,
It’s how it all begins.
How can you be so near?
How can you be so far away?
How can you be so near?
How close was I?
We are watching.
Heed the warning.
Before the song is sung,
Strength to journey on.
Always hopeful
Somethings coming.
Change is from within:
It’s how it all begins.
We are watching,
Heed the warning.
It’s more than just a dream,
Change is from within.
Always hopeful
Somethings coming.
Before the song is sung,
The best is yet to come.
