As I take this pen in hand, My heart is dreaming of a distant land. A land of hope, A land of wonder, A land where darkness cannot plunder. And as my heart so dreams, My hand is busy drawing wings So that I may one day fly Before my withered heart does die From all these secrets I have kept And all the tears I have wept. In this dreamland, there is no pain, No secrets, lies, or love in vain. Only hope, Only love, Only light, shining from above.
