A beautiful illusion
The ultimate solution
I didn't dream of losing
I refused to realize
Tried to catch an angel
I couldn't see the danger
It was so much later
When I opened up my eyes
It's an age old story, like a child, I had to learn
No one can ignore it when the fire starts to burn
Take a look around you
At everything that found you
Is it anything you wanted
Is it hard to understand?
Life is what you make it
So go on out and take it
Or life will be what happens
While you're making other plans
Now, look around the corner
The world is out of order
Step across the border
You'll begin to notice why
Some will live in luxury
Some won't have enough to eat
Me, I'm somewhere in between
Just trying to get by
It's an age old story, and it's always been the same
Through the pain and glory we can never seem to change
Take a look around you
At everything that found you
Is it anything you wanted
Is it hard to understand?
Lite is what you make it
So go on out and take it
Or life will be what happens
While you're making other plans...
