The Apparition

[Verse 1]

Now I'm here, can you see me?

'Cause I'm out on my own

When the room goes cold

Tell me you can feel me... 'cause I'm here

Here I am, can you see me?

Passing through, on my way

To a place I'd been to

Only in my dreams... before

In a world of delusion

Never turn your back on a friend

'Cause you can count your

Real true friends on one hand... through life

There are those that deceive you

There are those that'll let you down

Is there someone out there that

Would die for you? ...Thought not

Live your life with a passion

Everything you do, do well

You only get out of life

What you put in... so they say

In a world of confusion

People never say what they mean

If you want a straight answer

Go look for one... right now

In a room full of strangers

Do you stand with your back to the wall?

Do you sometimes feel like you're

On the outside... looking in?

You can make your own luck

You create your destiny

I believe you have the power

If you want to... It's true

[Verse 2]

You can do what you want to

If you try a little bit harder

A little bit of faith

Goes a long way... it does

Are we here for a reason?

I'd like to know just what you think

It would be nice to know what happens

When we die... wouldn't it?

There are some who are wise

There are some who are born naive

I believe that there are some that must

Have lived before... don't you?

As for me, well, I'm thinking

You gotta keep an open mind

But I hope that my life's not

An open-and-shut case

Extrasensory perception

Life after death, telepathy

Can the soul live on and travel

Through space and time?

You know I feel so elated

'Cause I'm about to find it out

And when I know all the answers

Maybe then I'll come back... to fill you in

You don't be alarmed now

If I try to contact you

If things go missing

Or get moved around... it's me

And don't disbelieve it

No matter what your "friends" might say

We'll meet up again someplace

Some way... one day
