the day we stopped being a fool

you know
you can't catch the wind
but you still dared

you know
you can't reach the sky
but you still dreamed

the endless universe
is magic
that is only left
for the mind
to unearth

the endless mysteries
are countless
that is only left
for God
to unveil

the workings of the mind
is a puzzle
that only the owner
can reveal

though still
you can only believe
but sometimes
you can't even tell

if the spin is only there
to drive you insane
if the spell is only there
dancing in your mind
and it's not for real

the day we stop being a fool
is the day we've realized
that we're just caught
in the ride
of the tide
of make-believes
and of devastating
tornadoes
whirling
in our minds

and as gently as you walk
in the rain or under the sun
your path is beaming
with the light from above

just trust that a guide
marks your day
as you depart
just trust that your mind
can tell the difference
between cubic zirconas
or a diamond at heart

so let's all wake up :)
