The Land of Dreams

in the land of dreams
the clear waters run through
the skies above are never black
only a blinding blue

nobody ever dies
because there is no war
instead, everywhere you walk
red rose petals litter the floor

there are no crimes committed
because everybody cares
no longer do loving parents worry
about losing their kids at the fair

there are no diseases
that take us from those we love
instead, you lay together in the grass
hand-in-hand watching the stars above

in the land of dreams
nobody is ever alone
no parent ever raises a hand
or even a threatening tone

in the land of dreams
the golden stars always shine
everybody has somebody else
in which to call them "mine"

in the land of dreams
there are only happy faces
nobody is told they're worthless
only that they can go places

in the land of dreams
the sparkling waters run through
the skies above are never black
because they're filled with images of you
