Fantasy Land
There are times when I feel cold and blue,
when my whole world seems to fall apart,
and there's nothing I can say or do
to keep myself from losing heart.
When there's too much burden on my shoulders,
I succumb to the pressure and fall to my knees,
wishing I were stronger, smarter and bolder,
so I could bear it all with ease!
When I'm caught in a storm, too far from the shore,
helplessly drowning in the sea of sorrows,
'cause I'm too tired to swim anymore,
or be daunted by morrows!
'Tis at times like these when I set sail,
on a voyage to a fantasy land;
where I know not how it is to fail,
where evil is taboo and hate is banned!
Each woman is queen; each man is king,
and none from pain or sickness ails.
With joy in their hearts, they dance and sing.
'Tis a place where peace prevails!
Here, love's a religion; war's a sin,
caring and sharing a way of life.
Harbouring no ill-will within,
they see no point in petty strife!
Just listen to what they have to say -
"We have but a short time to live.
So be it night or be it day,
share all the joys you have to give!
"We have no time to worry or frown,
'cause all it does is bring us down.
Confront all ordeals with a smile;
the effort will soon seem worthwhile."
Heaven on earth if ever could be,
would be this place the Gods love too!
'Tis such a place in my dreams I see.
I wish I lived there, don't you?

At the end of the hall there be,
The unopened door to infinity.
Beyond it what lies, a story untold,
A new world, waiting

A whole new world awaits us soon
and it is not on our silvery moon
but way out there amongst the stars

My Present to You
I give you my all,
The best I have to give.
I'll pick you up when you fall.
You make me want to live.
