There once was a strange land
Long long ago
If was made by a girl
A child full of woe
Winds always howl
And the sky is always green
Grass is never cut
And the stars are always seen
She made this world
A home in her mind
But the only beings there
Are the forgotten kind
The dreams of a little girl
Who loathed the real world
Her parents were never there
So she made beings who were always fair
She played with these folk
In the meadows of her mind
She made these people just
She made them so kind
But then she got older
And saw the hate of the world
The beings in her mind
Mirrored this unfold
Their desires grew darker
Their motives were skewed
They criticized the girl
Only negatives they spewed
How she isnt pretty
How she was a mistake
They used to give love
But now they only take
The girl became calloused
From the voices in her mind
The voices that spread hate
That used to be so kind
I am the girl
The girl of strange kind
The voices are in my head
They are many, you will find
I miss that world
Of green sky and strong wind
The world of my making
A world without sin
But I know this is a lie
For sin is everywhere
In the mind of a child
In the words of a prayer
So I pray now
God bring me back there
To the word of green sky
To where everything was fair
