Look Down and See Ahead
Sitting down in peaceful quiet
not going anywhere at all
thinking what can I do here
just looking into that wall
But think about it now
you can open up a book
so many on your shelf
take your pick have a look
It can take you to anywhere
across the world wide globe
even back to history past
put on a former King's robe
Take a trip to any continent
far away or anywhere near
join a fictional fairy tale
let the mind be quick to hear
So many miles can be travelled
just sitting where you are
no limit to your scope
going further than any car!
