Greg Johnson: Illusion |
LyricsIllusion© 2023 Greg Johnson/Starburst Music Publishing, LLC A little further A little faster, you might Find that thing you been chasin' after Or you might find the life or life might just find you You see a bright star on a distant horizon A dream that you can keep your eyes on But it somehow slips away Ain't nothin' you can do You might as well sit back Enjoy the ride Open up your mind and ease up on your pride Whoever told you the world would bend to your will There are so many lessons to be learned Hearts will be broken bridges burned And sometimes you'll just run out of steam in the middle of the hill The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow Don't seem to come no closer the faster you go I guess we're 'sposed to see it was never there at all You could search for your dream love Scour the world And end up settling down with a home town girl Maybe you don't need to climb so high, it'll hurt less when you fall Maybe there's no need to envy those who have the gall Maybe you can see how heavy, how hard it is to haul But lord knows it ain't easy to fight that yearning in your soul Many lives are wasted in pursuit of what ain't real I guess it's only human Everybody wants to feel They'll catch what they been chasin' The illusion of control |
| Short Song Description: The songwriter's perspective in this song is that maybe we don't need to try so hard, convincing ourselves that we are in control of our own destiny. Perhaps its just an illusion. |
