Fairy Tale

We see it on the pages of a book

It’s the way we see everything, the way we look

It’s all true, every single word

Where we sing with the mockingbird

We hold hands and breathe in the air

Living life to the fullest without a care

No hurt, no death, nothing but life

No predator, no prey, just coexisting wildlife

How can we tell the difference between reality and fantasy?

Look not at the agony, but rather at the majesty

Where there is no smoke, where there is no pain

Where we smile as we feel the rain

Where laughter is the best medicine, it doesn’t come in a bottle

Where we lean against the trees and write our own novel

Where love is love and no prejudice lives

Where we hold no grudges and always forgive

We swim away from the murky waters

Together again with our sons and daughters

No shadow is seen

We live as one not under a king or queen

The lands where berries grow, and memories are made

And the way we feel will never fade

Forever we are young

Forever we are one

And when we close the book it all comes rushing back

Back to reality with no blooming lilac

Back where pain festers and dreams fail

Leaving behind our own Fairy Tale
