Illusion

Oo-oo...
We build a nation,
A place to belong.
We were hand,
Hand in glove.
We never had enough.
Somehow we failed,
Somewhere derailed.
Oh, my heart broke down.
It will never be the same.
Never be the same.
This has been an illusion,
But how could I have known?
I’m writing down all my conclusions,
So I could let you go.
Oo-oo...
This is what we lost:
A future and a cause
Full of ideals,
fanned for belief,
Backbone to the spirit.
Still I can’t believe it.
This is called a disillusion,
But how could I have known?
Writing down all my conclusions.
It’s time to let you go.
This has been an illusion
Of all we ever had.
I’m writing down all my conclusions,
So I will not forget.
Oo-oo...
