Soen - Illusion lyrics

Here we are Blaming failure on the other Here we are awaiting to depart Do we care Just enough to aid our brother? Do we care enough to cease the harm? With every step we take we get further away From everything we need to reach harmony For all of us who won't linger on to pretend And everyone who follows their dreams Run away From the weights that keep you cornered Find a way to take back what is yours You and I We're depending on each other While divided we won't hear the call Where do I heal when the river runs dry? How do I sweeten the bitter? A word decides our fate And our silence condemns Would you give us what is left of your time? Give yourself up for the others? The choices are our own But the failure we'll share The man in charge is announcing He'll be the one who saves the earth and feeds the poor And when that promise is broken The next in line with the same lies will claim the throne For every step he takes, we get further away From finding what we need to reach unity With every word he says he condemns who we are Depriving us from reaching our dreams Where do I heal when the river runs dry? How do I sweeten the bitter? A word decides our fate And our silence condemns Would you give us what is left of your time? Give yourself up for the others? The choices are our own But the failure we'll share
