Escape
A Place Only in My Dreams
I close my eyes to escape reality
hoping to view the land of dreams
where there is no sorrow
and no one is hungry
you'll never hear crying
or pain-filled screams.
I close my eyes
hoping to get there...
where children's voices are
filled with cheer
land where innocent is born
and no one dies;
land beyond the big blue skies.
It's here the neglected can laugh and play
in the spacious land of ancient days.
It's here the abused can be safe from harm
cause in Dream Kingdom, there's no raging storm.
It's here pangs of hunger will be fed
for golden cherubs will lead you to heaven's bread.
And it's here no hatred exists
no KKKs, no White Supremacist!
A place where I'll be safe
and feel at home...
where little black girls and boys
can freely roam.
