If it a must the night turns to day
Soon we will awake to reality
If it is true what goes up must come down
Soon we will awake to reality
If it is true truth must overtake lies
Soon we will awake to reality
If it is true death is certain
Soon we will awake to reality
If it is true life is vanity upon vanity
Soon we will awake to reality
The reality that looks obscure
From you and me
Even at the prize of the large pulse
Of a fragile hearts
Soon we will awake to reality
