Far, Far Away

The days draw ever closer with my imminent need to leave
     With promises to keep and goals to achieve
     My ultimate desire is to disappear
     But mighty are the binds that keep me here
     And so I sat down to write a song
     About this place where I could belong
     My nirvana, my world and art
     Where every little craze tickles my heart
     I wish upon a star that is too far
     Hoping for a yearn that makes me churn
     For this I will strive night and day
     To find this place, so I pray
