When I escape
The world will be mine
I will be everywhere
And nowhere

When I escape
I will fade away
My worries will cease
And happiness will consume me

When I escape
There will be no more pain
No more jealous people
Telling me I can't

When I escape
The sky will be much bluer
The ocean much deeper
And the music more rich

When I escape
The people will not know me
The people will not judge me
The people will just love me

When I return
The world will be behind me
The future dark and dreary
And the people just the same

If only I could escape forever
Could float upon a velvet cloud
Could soar into the atmosphere
That is supposed to hold me down

If only you could be there with me
Could hold me in the cities
Could love me when I need it
And never let me go
