Life is a mirage...
A happy illusion to those afar
A bend on the road for those close
Seems to be just a grasp away
Try to hold and it flies further away
Life is a mirage....
Don't you see? You have your goal,
But you never behold
You lock your gaze
But feel it you cannot
Life is a mirage...
For when you behold and in happiness enshroud
Forgetting your presence in the present
Wishing for the happy illusion the mirage holds
Whilst neglecting your near and dear
Remember life does not last forever
Life is only a mirage of what you want to see...
