Illusion of paradise

Jean Estimé


What's under that crown?
I wish I could have known
That the kingdom that I wanted to built
Was nothing more than an illusion

My soul was longing for that warm embrace
Our mind and body intertwined
At the glampse of a sublime future
Created in my heart, ready to be shared

The desire to please you is still burning
As my love for you is growing
I reminisce about the beauty of you smiling
But I finally realize that you are my untouchable paradise
