I have just one request
To see the green
And feel the cool
To smell the clean
And hear the rule
To taste the dream
And be the fool
The multi-colored mask
creates a scene of social shadings
All the senses mocked
by simple, slight evasions
I have just one demand
To see the light
And feel the sun
To smell the night
And hear the fun
To taste the right
And be the one
I'll place you on the pedestal
and surround you with the gold
But I am only human
with a heart that beats grey cold
I have just one day
To see
And to feel
To smell, hear and taste
And to be
Just to be
Real.

To see the green
And feel the cool
To smell the clean
And hear the rule
To taste the dream
And be the fool
The multi-colored mask
creates a scene of social shadings
All the senses mocked
by simple, slight evasions
I have just one demand
To see the light
And feel the sun
To smell the night
And hear the fun
To taste the right
And be the one
I'll place you on the pedestal
and surround you with the gold
But I am only human
with a heart that beats grey cold
I have just one day
To see
And to feel
To smell, hear and taste
And to be
Just to be
Real.
