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 fade 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

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 futures 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, smoke and mirrors)

I see my tomorrows

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)

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

I stand by you always

Time and motion

(smoke and mirrors)

Hands touch, lips find a way to

(That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)

Heaven on high

No more sorrow

(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
