There are a lot of things
That I want to see
That I want to do
That I want to be

I want to see
Sheeps grazing on vast plains
Lie on the grass
And feel the air on my skin

I want to cross
Stone bridges that run
Over clear waters
Under the sun

I want to watch
A field of flowers sway
Under a pleasant breeze
On a sunny day

I want to climb
Mountains so steep
And marvel on the view
As I reach its summit

I want to build
Tents in a meadow
And tell stories
As the campfire glows

I want to travel
The scorching deserts
Watching the pyramids
Made by people's efforts

I want to sail
The vast open seas
As the captain of my ship
And enjoy the sea breeze

I always wanted
To see these sights
But all I can see
Are blinking lights

Blinking lights of planes
As they cruise the night sky
Blending with stars
As they slowly fly by

Blinking lights of cars
As they go through the streets
Going home from work
Or to travel or eat

Blinking lights on the phone
From unread messages
That wait there patiently
Until someone notices

And blinking lights of stars
As we bathe in starlight
We dance on the rooftop
Until close to midnight

I can hear faint breaths
As you sleep on my lap
And on times like this
I just wish the world stopped

My hand on your hair
Caressing so gently
Admiring your face
As you sleep heavily

These thoughts came flowing in
Glancing through the window
Watching the blinking lights
These thoughts slowly followed

There are a lot of things
That I want to do
But I'd always rather
Stay here with you
