In My World Lyrics

The streets are cold the people rush by

The world seems dark rarely does it shine

The news keeps writing of war and hate

I retreat within it's all too much to take

The trees are wilting the air isn't clear

The dreams of people they disappear

I close my eyes and drift away

To my own world where I long to stay

In my world I find peace and calm

Reality tightens like a choking palm

Faith and wars the endless pain

I escape to my world that frees me from the strain

Greed devours souls; deceit is near

Health is sold off while we wither in fear

But in my world flowers bloom in the breeze

Here there's no sorrow; here I'm at ease

The sky is blue and the sun shines bright

There's no dying here; there's no fright

I dance in the rain and laugh in the light

This is my world—like a beautiful sight

In my world I find peace and calm

Reality tightens like a choking palm

Faith and wars the endless pain

I escape to my world that frees me from the strain

But when I awaken from this dream so deep

It casts only shadows—the tree of life weeps

Reality hits with a powerful blow;

Terror has clenched its fists in woe

In my world I find peace and calm

Reality tightens like a choking palm

Faith and wars the endless pain

I escape to my world that frees me from the strain

Yet deep inside I know it's just a game

A way to flee worries—an unreachable aim

Reality always pulls me back in line;

Only the dream remains—a life so divine

Yet deep inside I know it's just a game

A way to flee worries—an unreachable aim

Reality always pulls me back in line;

Only the dream remains—a life so divine

Faith and wars the endless pain

I escape to my world that frees me from the strain
