I'm mI'm more than this body
I am not trapped
There are no boundaries
While I barefoot this path
I see manifestations
Of my magnificent mind
In a place where there's no space
Walking a line where there's no time
Let me shine
Laugh with me
Laugh at me
Hold my hand
And understand
This body's just a Decoy
So I can make my escape
When we say goodbye
Let's just try
To smile while we take turns
Passing through the door
I'll see you again tomorrow
This I know for sure
The reaper's creeper
But I'm still smiling
When he takes my body
I'll just keep on shining
He'll look down at me
And be fooled by my empty eyes
As I laugh while I float above him
FREE
As my spirit flies
Let me shine
Laugh with me
Laugh at me
Hold my hand
And understand
This body's just a Decoy
So I can make my escape
When we say goodbye
Let's just try
To smile while we take turns
Passing through the door
I'll see you again tomorrow
This I know for sure
There's no birth
There's no death
Don't cry out
Save your precious breath
Let's just smile
Instead of cry
I'll see you tomorrow
There's no goodbye!
