Let me escape to a field of trees
And escape to a place of dreams
Let me wonder to a world
Where I could be bold

Let me live a day
Where there will be no pain
Where there are no complaints
Where there will be no taints

Golden roads and clear streams
Where I wish I could stay
But I leave this everyday
Where there is no worry for pay

Although I hear laughs
I can never escape this path
But it always comes back
Like an animal to track

They would never understand
Nor would they take a stand
But that’s just how life goes
You can never make the pros

The dreamers, the outcasts, the misfits
The ones who always seem to fail
Are only known when they stand
But most of them will always bail

If only they could not be forced down
If only they were not made to frown
Maybe they could succeed
Maybe they could bring their new seed

But so it goes, the hero, the fairy tale, the one who never fails
If only that were so
