The Mirage
Chorus:
The mirage is ridin' on the sun It’s a song that needs to be sung
It’s been this way since it begun The mirage is ridin' on the sun
Verse 1:
Off in the distance What could it be?
Wonders as far as the eye can see
Freedom, happiness beauty & love
Phantoms, of what could be to come
Chorus
Verse 2:
We affect how we behave but I know that I am a slave
To the chemicals coursing through my veins
Concocted by firings in my brain
Chorus
Bridge:
One thing I know is time’s not moving slow
As I try to go with the flow
But I still believe, though it’s hard to conceive
The fantasy is really there to receive
Chorus
Gotta do what needs to be done
the mirage is ridin' on the sun

Pattern
I lie in wonder how we`ve survived to make it this far
Spawning our species through the ages as we spin around our star
Our brains are trained to avoid pain and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard adapting it to our pattern
Reaching the outcome that we desire teeters on a wire
Engulfed in madness as we perspire staring at the fire
Our brains are trained to avoid pain and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard adapting it to our pattern
Down to our cells we have to learn how to discern
Structure emerging from the random forming like crystals in a cavern
Our brains are trained to avoid pain and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard adapting it to our pattern
Freedom
Freedom is Freedom is Freedom is oh ya Freedom is undefined
No one can tell you what it means because it's a state of mind
Rivers flow to and fro forces nudge the waters
so they go where they're told
choices are there the waters are free but controlled.
Freedom is Freedom is Freedom is oh ya Freedom is undefined
No one can tell you what it means because it's a state of mind
When we are little ones We have questions about
how things are done. Is there a rule of thumb?
On how to find happiness and love with freedom
Freedom is Freedom is Freedom is oh ya Freedom is undefined
No one can tell you what it means because it's a state of mind
Wonder
I wonder bout the people who live without the means
to get them where they need to be for bringing about change
that they look for in the models they see all around them
in the family in the city in the schoolyard
Who are they? I wonder what they could be?
Who will help them see... If you won’t?
I wonder bout the people who can't seem to see
through their preconceptions that they cling to
for life and death even if it conflicts with
what they know deep down to be reasonable
for our progress, for our culture, for our future
Who are they? I wonder what they could be?
Who will help them see... If you won’t?
I wonder bout the people who ponder
how we're going to make it to the next stage
of this journey through the cosmos all together
we must try to do our best to create a world
without hunger, without thirsting, without hatred,
without fighting and wars
Who are they? I wonder what they could be?
Who will help them see... If you won’t?
Dreams
I treasure the things I see and I see beauty
We wonder how to be free to some degree
Every day can be new if you choose
Life is full of endless dreams with potential to come true
but not without attention from you
Believe what you want to be true it's all up to you
If your days feel like deja vu it's time to pass through
into the unknown dodging all the stones
Life is full of endless dreams with potential to come true
but not without attention from you
Learning from what you’ve been shown you are not alone
Wisdom must be acquired before it is known
Peering into the divide praying it will provide
Answers to assist us on this ride
Allow your mind to be refined cleared and realigned
For silence stirs to unwind all the thoughts intertwined
Many walk around blind is what I find
Life is full of endless dreams with potential to come true
but not without attention from you
