Circus Of Life: What If...

Текст песни Magic Pie - Circus Of Life: What If...

I. Welcome

Welcome to the circus, welcome to our scene
Welcome to the place where nothing's what it seems
Our show is quite impressive, I think you'll be surprised
I think you'll have the best time of your life

Welcome to the circus, we'll put on quite a show
Welcome to the weirdest place you'll ever know
Welcome to the circus, welcome to our scene
Welcome to the circus, welcome to the circus
Welcome to the circus of life...

II. Freakshow

Instrumental

III. What If...

The sun rises to winds from the north
The winter is bitter, but the summer comes forth
The breeze you feel comes from yesteryears air
It's always the same wind that touches your hair

It's getting harder to keep up... with the changes
Stay clean, stay healthy, stay alive
Have a pice of Magic Pie
An old man dies, and a child is born
One soul is saved, and another is torn
One conscious is dirty, and the next one is clean
There is life on either side of the screen

It's getting harder to keep up...

What if you were the world, and the shadows your friend
What if light was like darkness, and beginning the end
What if you were the sky, and commanded the clouds
What if shallow was deep, and silence was loud

IV. Trick of the Mind

- Act I - Song of Decision

Frustrated, week minded, self centered and hopelessly blinded
You need to stop reaching, 'cause this is all you get
Encouraged, strong minded, respected and awfully gifted
You took a chance and placed the right bet

There is nothing stopping you, you just need your will
Envision what you want, and you'll be the king of the hill
Your mind is a tool, a cornerstone business
An egocentric evil, or the samaritans kindness
What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive
Your body can achieve
What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive
Your dreams can concieve

Do you know who's to blame; do you know where it all lies
It's all about perspective; you're no different in the victim's eyes
So drown yourself in guilt, and save yourself
Reconnect your mind, what are your choices today?

The bigger events can have smaller causes
The minor wins can have major losses
Stand behind your beliefs
Keep an open heart and a clear mind and the rest will take you anywhere

One long straight, two narrow paths to elsewhere
Which one do you choose, do you want to know what's out there
Remember how the saying goes
Keep an open heart and a clear mind and the rest will take you anywhere

- Act II - Song of Anger

I blame it all on you; you're the reason for my failure
And everything started right after your departure
You beated me, he beat you, I'll beat them altogether
My life is wrecked, my future's lost forever
- Act III - Song of Sharing

He's sitting there thinking of the role he's been given
His mind has gone blank, but he doesn't care
He's been sitting there for hours, and as time passes by
He's been deep in his world behind a calm empty stare

For some weeks she's been looking at the path she has chosen
Was it right to abandom him 'cause he cared for his world
It was a tough decision, but she craved for the freedom
Looking back now though, she's no longer sure

What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive
Your body can achieve
What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive
Your dreams can conceive

There's an elderly woman, saying "I can sense secrets"
Show her your picture, and she'll show you yourself
The secrets she speaks of, is it doors to be opened?
Should you keep them inside, is it right of you to sell?

I'm just a man without greats plans or visions
I love women and wine, I like enjoying my life
I've a story or two that could lead me to ruin
I've kept them inside, safe from myself

- Act IV - Face to Face

The bigger events can have smaller causes
The minor wins can have major losses
Stand behind your beliefs
Keep an open heart and a clear mind
And the rest will take you anywhere

One long straight, two narrow paths to elsewhere
Which one do you choose, do you want to know what's out there
Remember how the saying goes
Keep an open heart and a clear mind and the rest will take you anywhere

Face to face with an important decision
My legs are hanging on the edge of the cliff
I'm not about to deny what I envision
If I think for too long I'll lose my grip and fall

The bigger events...

V. The Clown

The sky is changing - down comes the rain
You'll be surprised by how quick the weather can change
The thoughts are swirling around in your head
One minute you're alive and kickin' the next you are dead

It's getting harder to keep up... with the changes
Stay clean, stay healthy, stay alive
Have a piece of Magic Pie

You'll be taken for a rollercoaster ride
You'll be fully exposed, and you can never hide
You'll have to face your previous mistakes
You'll have to take the blame of the errors you don't make

But once the rain stops pouring down
When the sad music ends and in comes the clown
You'll be satisfied and completely content
'Cause you'll always know that you'll try to repent

Welcome to the circus of life...
