Smoke And Mirrors

When I was a boy
All the books I read
I followed like a blind man
To heed the words my father said

Those golden summers faded into night
Words become a dream
The echoes of my childhood
And where the path is winding

May God bless you
Keep you safe from all harm
Oh, may I stand by you always
Time and motion
Hands touch
Lips find a way to heaven on high

Watch the children play
The child becomes a man
And all the tangled webs we weave
You swear it as we live and breath
We stay together, death until you part
Winner takes the prize
The future's at your finger tips
Right before your eyes

No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end. (I really learned a lot)
I see my tomorrows (smoke and mirrors)
.
And nothing from nothing
And ashes to ashes, they say
All the more that you reach out
The more that it runs away

Smoke and mirrors
Smoke and mirrors

(No more goodbyes.)
That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors
(No lies, you find your way there,)
She show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors
(Heaven on high.)

May God bless you
Keep you safe from all harm
Oh, may I stand by you always

Time and motion. (smoke and mirrors)
Hands touch, (that's all I ever got)
Lips find a way to heaven on high (smoke and mirrors)

No more sorrows
(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end
(She show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors)
I rise or I fall

No more goodbyes
(She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors)
No lies, you find a way there
Heaven on high
