Doc, if you let me
I'll read you the words
Of Hilton on a place that might sound absurd
But page after page he has kept me engaged
With his fine narration, oh
Shangri-la is nowhere near
It does not exist here
It's all in your head
Day in and day out
I wonder if maybe
I have been there
Once in my life, Doc, a moment in time
The two worlds eclipsed and the stars aligned
Music would play as I'd get swept away
In those eyes so blue, so true
But then I let it slip away
A chance at a good life
It's all in your mind
Day in and day out
Wonder if maybe
I'd be different
Man makes the myth
Just to mix up the menace of life
Think of all I've missed
Thanks to crippling expectations
I knew it was real
Still I walked out the door
I know Shangri-la is somewhere near
I've seen it, I've been there
(Manifestation of...)
Day in and day out
Deep inside
I still hear the
Music, sweetly, softly, sweeping
