If it were colours & dreams
my mind wouldn't sit still
While chasing an army-
my mind knew the drill
A beautiful face stuck in history
with no place to go
I must have missed the mystery
of the lands I've never explored
And while going out into the world
my mind was suddenly whirled
All on the wheels of fortunes, I was
so fortunate to find all I that I deserved

In an ignorant galaxy in the space
of my clouded mind
It was a beauty of ignorance that
showed my character was so sublime
A finite mind of infinite ideas; doesn't
have enough of the time
I was blind to me destiny, and destined
to sometimes fail
And coming to terms of pre-events, you start
to learn to more after you fail, and to prevail
You can't be a captain- with no strength to your sail
and you may escape the world, but an ignorant mind
still prisons you it's in jail

I've conquered an ocean
in the occasion of a blue moon
Was drawn by my foolish nostalgia
as well as a Saturday morning cartoon
A journey so long, but it's far from through
I'm not done with this world -I've got so much more to do

And if it fills like I'm falling
out of heaven- just let me fall, fall, fall
I won't be falling for far too long
