The Difference

Somewhere out there on the shores of a distant reality

Is the physical manifestation of a forgotten dream

And her name is

Yes, her name is

Everything I desire

And it might be that there's a transcendent existence

That transcends all this discord and deceit

And if there is, we should shoot for it

Because if there's not

Well, we really don't have anything that valuable left to lose

Or is it so?

How do we know?

How do we make the call?

What's the difference, is it great or small?

Some say the difference really ain't that much at all

But with a clarity that comes with pain and strife

Though it cuts you like a knife

You'll find the things that make a difference in your life

Too many dreams that don't pay off, still we dream

We learn to laugh and then to scoff, still we dream

I never knew if I was right or it was wrong

Then I discovered what had been there all along

We search for meaning in a world that's lost its way

We search for meaning and we better start today

The search for meaning just might cut you like a knife

But if you try to get it right

You just might find the meaning of your life

That's the difference

That makes the difference

That's the difference
