Let yourself be
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And think of a better tomorrow,
When the world is so large and so little is your sorrow?
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And dream a dream,
Where the thing you want the most is just what it seems.
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And let go of all that’s keeping your feet on the ground?
To fly high above in the clouds, without a single glance down.
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And hum the most pleasant song.
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And choose to ignore all the murmurs and whispers going around.
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And spread your wings wide apart.
Can you close your eyes for a moment?
And see yourself on the brink of freedom, like a bird ready for flight.
Then open your eyes and see your mirage shatter,
And your beautiful getaway in front of your eyes will scatter.
