Everything around seems normal br Even friends and family you have seem loyal. br You don't know you are at the market on loan. br br But that's the way it is br So shut your eyes tight br And open your ears wide br So you can see clearer. br br With their sinful gear on, br They device instructions for life constructions br Successfully skating this world propitiously down br Into monumental doom of horrendous proportion. br br But that's the way it is br So shut your eyes tight br And open your ears wide br So you can see clearer. br br A bairn who sees a mirage in the middle br Of a road ahead sees only a pool of water. br How I wish this bairn was mature enough br To understand the wraith within. br br But that's the way it is br So shut your eyes tight br And open your ears wide br So you can see clearer. br br The grown up fishes find it difficult br To evade the fisherman's entangling net. br And somewhere in mainland, there's this beautiful flower br Which has the powerful spell to bless and to curse, br To make anyone laugh or cry or to live or die. br Because it is inexplicably beautiful but poisonous. br We all inevitably get to see this beauty and either br Give in to it bearing in mind the price to pay later br Or play fugitive for fear of it. br You can choose to believe me or not. br br But that's the way it is br So shut your eyes tight br And open your ears wide br So you can see clearer. br br A piece of puzzle won't fit somewhere br To fit elsewhere, br People hate to love, br Lives are lost to life br And instability exists because of balance br Just like wars exist because of peace. br br But that's the way it always has been in this life br So shut your eyes tight br And open your ears wide br And you just might come to see clearer someday.
