There is a secret

There are people dancing in moonlight
To the song of the wind and stream
They see beauty in this place
They see peace, they see love.

Everyone is laughing
Even in the face of hatred
Entranced, they smile into the sunlight
Even in the face of adversity.

I see the pain, the pain they try to hide
I see the struggle, the fight for sanity
I can't pretend
It's like there is a secret

It's like everyone knows...
Everyone but me.
