Masquerade

A friend of mine was telling me
How she could easily see how
People lose their minds
People rushing everywhere
No point but anyway they’re there
You know I could easily lose mine
We worry ‘bout trivialities
And no one ever seems to see
That love’s the only way
Love’s the only way
To save the day

See the way we talk all day
Words of hatred, words of praise
Words to tear down, words to restore
But silence is everlasting
All there is fasting
From words that have no cause
Read the eyes, read the smiles of your friends
Feel the meaning that starts where words end
Give up your masquerade
Give up your masquerade
And you’ll be made

We only live a lifetime once
And we don’t seem to see as much of the sun
As we should
Would you take a day off work if you could
If you made a decision now
To return to the land and the plough
Your life
Into the earth
Would it be rebirth
But I know you won’t
- you’re too settled too move
All it really is that you’re stuck in a groove
It’s the same old tune

Bird calls and fresh air aren’t a dream
Not are waterfalls and mountain streams
or a truly fulfilled life
But you’ll just sit back and say
Wouldn’t it be nice
A friend of mine was telling me
How she could easily see how
People lose their minds
People rushing everywhere
No point but anyway they’re there
You know I could easily lose mine
We worry ‘bout trivialities
And no one ever seems to see
That love’s the only way
Love’s the only way
To save the day
