Set Your Mind Free
If only a dream
were the path to the future
Where crickets and toadstools
began the parade
If storks in the sky
were a common occurrence
and lemonade grew
in the cool summer shade
If roads led to villages
covered in daisies
While rivers and streams
glistened bright in the sun
And heartache was more of a
forgotten notion
as each day appeared
and was so much more fun
Where chimneys all smoked
but had no fear of cancer
And skies were so blue
you could paint with a brush
And sea captains danced
on a wave of approval
While sailing so slow
without even a rush
Where moonbeams of sherbet
made custard on Sundays
and tables were set
in the fanciest fare
And doors were unlocked
as the neighbors were knocking
along with their dogs
and a nice rocking chair
If only a dream
were the path to the future
Our minds could control
every place we did go
It’s all up to you
how this world comes to happen,
just set your mind free
of the worries that flow
