The streets are cold the people rush by
The world seems dark rarely does it shine
The news keeps writing of war and hate
I retreat within it's all too much to take
The trees are wilting the air isn't clear
The dreams of people they disappear
I close my eyes and drift away
To my own world where I long to stay
In my world I find peace and calm
Reality tightens like a choking palm
Faith and wars the endless pain
I escape to my world that frees me from the strain
Greed devours souls; deceit is near
Health is sold off while we wither in fear
But in my world flowers bloom in the breeze
Here there's no sorrow; here I'm at ease
The sky is blue and the sun shines bright
There's no dying here; there's no fright
I dance in the rain and laugh in the light
This is my world-like a beautiful sight
In my world I find peace and calm
Reality tightens like a choking palm
Faith and wars the endless pain
I escape to my world that frees me from the strain
But when I awaken from this dream so deep
It casts only shadows-the tree of life weeps
Reality hits with a powerful blow;
Terror has clenched its fists in woe
In my world I find peace and calm
Reality tightens like a choking palm
Faith and wars the endless pain
I escape to my world that frees me from the strain
Yet deep inside I know it's just a game
A way to flee worries-an unreachable aim
Reality always pulls me back in line;
Only the dream remains-a life so divine
Yet deep inside I know it's just a game
A way to flee worries-an unreachable aim
Reality always pulls me back in line;
Only the dream remains-a life so divine
Faith and wars the endless pain
I escape to my world that frees me from the strain
