And what is love? but that which binds us all together When even friendship, can overcome the stormy weather Two bluebirds fly across the summer sky, I long to be up there So stoned and high, With all my love to share Then the season changed and the wind, sleet and rain was coming down again And then you smiled and my world paused for a while I felt a change within And what is grace? but that which stands before us With every fragrance and every taste Every precious kiss and touch Two lovers walk now hand in hand Upon the sunny scene He's got his hair let down, she's in a magazine And I still sit and sigh and I watch the world pass by from my room of gloom And there you were and even though I wasn't sure I felt a change within

The illusion to life is that life is an illusion With body and mind we will find the solution And break through the wall By the byways of ice and the streets of ruin Homeward bound and we're lost in confusion And to what we recall There is no easy way out With our heads full of doubt There is no easy way out Hear the hard road call Hear the hard road call your name Laughing lovers in disdain Stumbling on our feet upon the windy barren street Feel the cold wind whip Having disillusioned thoughts, you feel the world has got you beat Can't seem to get a grip Yes but looking deep within you begin to twirl and spin Cause you've found something there And now that you begin to love yourself again All your love you can share There is no easy way out With our heads full of doubt There is no easy way out Hear the hard road call

I have awoke in the land of the sleepers Wasted my breath on many a deaf ear I have awoke in the land of the sleepers Not once did they listen, can apathy hear? Not once did they listen, can ignorance hear? Yes I've traveled and rambled on the seas of illusion Depths of these waters will swallow you whole Traveled and rambled on the seas of illusion There is no escape, so don't burden your soul There is no escape, so don't burden your soul Walked in the room with a bell in my hand I rang it loud, proud and clear Love was a hard thing to understand Gave word I was leaving, so sad and sincere Gave word I was leaving, so sad and sincere Well on the street it's the same, wherever you go God is a concept blown away in the sand And though we carry our seeds and plant them to grow The lost world around is beyond your command The lost world around is beyond your command I have awoke in the land of the sleepers Wasted my breath on many a deaf ear I have awoke in the land of the sleepers Not once did they listen, can apathy hear? Not once did they listen, can ignorance hear?
