This World I'Ve Made

At the end of everyday I take
This world that I have made
Place it in my dresser drawer
Safely tucked away

It just wouldn't do 
To have it running loose
Give it time to reflect
Quiet and subdued

This world that I have made
I keep under lock and key
Try my best to
Not let it get away from me

If I balk or if I blink
It could easily run wild and free
This world I've made, this world I keep
Could end up in the drink

Morning times we go for a drive
Then in the end, bring it back again
To save it for another day
This world that I have made
