Take me to a place down yonder
Where there are endless fields
And yellow daffodils
Where butterflies play
And mantises pray
Where the sun dares shine
Despite the deliberately blind

Take me to a place where I can wander
Aimlessly
Where there is no limit
To the time of day
And one needs not worry
What next to say

Extend your hand and lead me
And with your knowledge feed me
For wisdom knows no bounds
Where only nature surrounds

Enliven my spirit, enrich my soul
Encompass my life as one big whole
Take me where no being has gone before
Take me where there is always an open door

Take me to the other side of the rainbow
Then set me free to go
Where everything is as it first will seem
Where one may dream the impossible dream

Take me to a place down yonder
Where Solitude is not labeled squander
Where the meadows are green
And the air is clean

Where joy knows no barrier
And man knows no fear
Where the water is crystal clear
Where love overflows
And the wind gently blows

Where a little blue jay will land on my arm
And when I move to touch it
Will not fly away with alarm
Where sadness is never felt
And only tears of happiness are shed
Where no one has heard of a broken heart
Where there is no need for a brand new start

Take me to a place down yonder
A place you know only too well
And when you take me there.. leave me
Where nature will never deceive me
