Magic Pie - Circus of Life, Pt. 3: What If... lyrics

I. Welcome Welcome to the circus, welcome to our scene Welcome to the place where nothing's what it seems Our show is quite impressive, I think you'll be surprised I think you'll have the best time of your life Welcome to the circus, we'll put on quite a show Welcome to the weirdest place you'll ever know Welcome to the circus, welcome to our scene Welcome to the circus, welcome to the circus Welcome to the circus of life... II. Freakshow Instrumental III. What If... The sun rises to winds from the north The winter is bitter, but the summer comes forth The breeze you feel comes from yesteryears air It's always the same wind that touches your hair It's getting harder to keep up... with the changes Stay clean, stay healthy, stay alive Have a pice of Magic Pie An old man dies, and a child is born One soul is saved, and another is torn One conscious is dirty, and the next one is clean There is life on either side of the screen It's getting harder to keep up... What if you were the world, and the shadows your friend What if light was like darkness, and beginning the end What if you were the sky, and commanded the clouds What if shallow was deep, and silence was loud IV. Trick of the Mind - Act I - Song of Decision Frustrated, week minded, self centered and hopelessly blinded You need to stop reaching, 'cause this is all you get Encouraged, strong minded, respected and awfully gifted You took a chance and placed the right bet There is nothing stopping you, you just need your will Envision what you want, and you'll be the king of the hill Your mind is a tool, a cornerstone business An egocentric evil, or the samaritans kindness What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive Your body can achieve What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive Your dreams can concieve Do you know who's to blame; do you know where it all lies It's all about perspective; you're no different in the victim's eyes So drown yourself in guilt, and save yourself Reconnect your mind, what are your choices today? The bigger events can have smaller causes The minor wins can have major losses Stand behind your beliefs Keep an open heart and a clear mind and the rest will take you anywhere One long straight, two narrow paths to elsewhere Which one do you choose, do you want to know what's out there Remember how the saying goes Keep an open heart and a clear mind and the rest will take you anywhere - Act II - Song of Anger I blame it all on you; you're the reason for my failure And everything started right after your departure You beated me, he beat you, I'll beat them altogether My life is wrecked, my future's lost forever - Act III - Song of Sharing He's sitting there thinking of the role he's been given His mind has gone blank, but he doesn't care He's been sitting there for hours, and as time pa**es by He's been deep in his world behind a calm empty stare For some weeks she's been looking at the path she has chosen Was it right to abandom him 'cause he cared for his world It was a tough decision, but she craved for the freedom Looking back now though, she's no longer sure What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive Your body can achieve What your mind can believe, what your mind can perceive Your dreams can conceive There's an elderly woman, saying "I can sense secrets" Show her your picture, and she'll show you yourself The secrets she speaks of, is it doors to be opened? Should you keep them inside, is it right of you to sell? I'm just a man without greats plans or visions I love women and wine, I like enjoying my life I've a story or two that could lead me to ruin I've kept them inside, safe from myself - Act IV - Face to Face The bigger events can have smaller causes The minor wins can have major losses Stand behind your beliefs Keep an open heart and a clear mind And the rest will take you anywhere One long straight, two narrow paths to elsewhere Which one do you choose, do you want to know what's out there Remember how the saying goes Keep an open heart and a clear mind and the rest will take you anywhere Face to face with an important decision My legs are hanging on the edge of the cliff I'm not about to deny what I envision If I think for too long I'll lose my grip and fall The bigger events... V. The Clown The sky is changing - down comes the rain You'll be surprised by how quick the weather can change The thoughts are swirling around in your head One minute you're alive and kickin' the next you are dead It's getting harder to keep up... with the changes Stay clean, stay healthy, stay alive Have a piece of Magic Pie You'll be taken for a rollercoaster ride You'll be fully exposed, and you can never hide You'll have to face your previous mistakes You'll have to take the blame of the errors you don't make But once the rain stops pouring down When the sad music ends and in comes the clown You'll be satisfied and completely content 'Cause you'll always know that you'll try to repent Welcome to the circus of life...
