One

There is a beautiful world

Full of life and love and lust

A land in which dreams unfold

I will, I do, I must

Then

There is a world of masks

Full of lies and lows and rant

A land of troubles and tears and tasks

I won’t, I don’t, I can’t

And

These worlds are one and the same

All it takes is a little peek

To see, beneath the veil, the shame:

There is nothing like what we seek
