Smoke & 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 harm
I will stand by you always
Time and motion
Hands touch lips find a
Way to Heaven on high

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

No more sorrows
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 sorrows
Smoke and mirrors
No more nights with no end
I really learned a lot
I see my tomorrows
Smoke and mirrors

No more goodbyes
Thats all I ever got
No lies, you find your way there
Smoke and mirrors
Show me what shes 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
Thats all I ever got
Heaven on high
Smoke and mirrors

No more sorrows
I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors
No more nights with no end
Show me what shes 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
