Looking back to a crystal of colours
At the good things gone by in your life
Don't you see that they're vague and deceptive
And you never return though you try
It's easy to follow and it's hard to make your own way
So you sit and you think try to find the missing link
In your life

As you walk through your days of confusion
And you cry because something seems lost
You feel helpless and sad as you wonder
Without knowing what kind in it costs
It's easy to sorrow and it's hard to live something new
So you just wait and see this will never set you free
In your life

If you dream of a mountain of golden
That will shine out for what you're worth
When you wake don't start wasting the morning
For a mountain is part of things earned
It's easy to linger and it's hard to climb at all high
So you sit and you pray for a short and easy way
In your life

So how come you are feeling so lonely?
You got friends taking good care of you
And they're all so alike and they love you
But you never can tell who is who
It's easy not to wonder and it's hard to think for yourself
Where am I? Who are they? This could be the longest day
In your life
