The Quest Remains

I see a face in the mirror

with weary eyes and far from a smile

Who is he? Where is he going?

Is he a man or is he a child?

What's the point trying to be a star

when you can't figure out who you are?

It's a shame fighting for a dream

that you can't live in reality

The road to nowhere will never end

The mask you wear is your only friend

You may survive on the desert plains

but always find that the quest remains

Are you a saint or a sinner?

Do you belong in Heaven or Hell?

Are you a loser or a winner?

I guess only time will tell

There's no use counting tears in the rain

or denying the sorrow and pain

It's too late when you realise

that the mirror is your very eyes
