Shangri-La

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
