The world can be a painful place
when its all so far away
perhaps a hermits life is better
as close to home you always stay
If you do not gaze on foreign shores
will you still desire to roam?
Is it possible that happiness
can be found so close to home
If you do not see the beauty
that lives in foreign lands
Will your spirit find its soul mate
amongst those closer to hand
Ignorance is bliss they say
and while that may not be true
Disappointment comes with pain
that is harder to undo

If you do not see the beauty

Will your spirit find its soul mate
amongst those closer to hand
Ignorance is bliss they say
and while that may not be true
Disappointment comes with pain
that is harder to undo
