As you wander in the clear moonlight,
the glassy pools gleam silver white.
And as you watch the ripples spread,
you turn to gaze at stars instead.
The twinkling lights cover the sky,
you're stricken with a wish to fly.
To spread your wings and seize the day,
To explore the world and run away.
Mystical lands, so full of peace,
You hope this dream will never cease.
And with your mind, so far away,
You're woken by another day.
And the mountains, bathed in red and gold,
protect the secrets that you hold.
And thinking of another day,
again you let your mind astray.
