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.
