Drift Away

The world leaves me with an ominous curiosity With all the games that people play I get so tired of all the treachery I let my mind wander through the Milky Way I can’t comprehend why others want to bring me down Maybe that’s why I drift high above the clouds My eyes burn at times for all that they have seen So I have to close them for my mind to be at peace So I’ll drift away; yes drift away Out into the unknown Take my hand if you want to come with me At least we won’t be alone Drift away; yes drift away To an easy place where we can roam When our eyes stop burning; maybe then we’ll come back home Let’s go to a place the cynic’s can’t reach; to mingle with our thoughts To lay back amongst the stars to view the moon Where no battles need be fought For me there has only been one solution To take a step back and slow things down I see no need to speed up evolution Rushing through life we tend to lose more ground There will be no rat race for me I like my head stuck in the clouds Well at least my eyes aren’t burning I’ll take the scenic route and have a look around.
