So Close Yet So Far...

“Y-E-S” just three letters

But he knew it better

He would have to put in everything he had got

He was indeed in such a tight spot

The chances of situation going north or south were at par

He was so close yet so far…

The only dream she had ever known

All she was waiting was the ring of her phone

The dream was within her reach and at a great distance

All she could do was to be persistent

She just wanted to be a star

She was so close yet so far…

It was do or die for him now

To himself and his nation, he had made a vow

It was just twenty-six miles and three eighty five yards

 But was it in his cards?

He just had to cross that line, that bar

He was so close yet so far…

Only this one operation and she could see again

It would surely be worth all the pain

To see the world she had always imagined

And it would be hers to win

Away would fade her scars

She was so close yet so far…

All you got to do is hold the extended hand

With your head held high, together you have to stand

You have to believe in yourself and have faith in others

Then there won’t be a need for any borders

And then will end the war, this futile power chase

Making the world a much better place

All of it at this stage seems so bizarre

This dream is so close yet so far…
