Past the Deserts and Greenery

Past the deserts and greenery
Is a land better than any
It is that land that I seek
Where my prospects aren't so bleak
It is that land where I want to go
Where my future won't take such a blow
Where I am free of all the rules
Where I am not considered one of the fools
Where nobody can tell me what I can and cannot do
Where conflicts, controversies and scandals don't ensue
Where few are enemies and many are friends
Where the road of life is straight with very few bends
The land where I can be me
Without a care or worry
I know that land is somewhere,
Past the deserts and greenery.
