But when I'm in the countryside,
I sit on swings from trees and glide
into a barren field of dreams
I wonder what my life will be
I find myself just drifting off
and sleeping on a floating loft
My heart explodes with words to say
hoping they're the right way
Sunny days and silver moons and
orchards filled with flowery blooms
Snowcapped mountains, pure and white
comfort hearts of sleepless nights
Awaken with constant noise
My vision changed and then
I see the blood of men
A bullet hit the next of kin
Daughter's birth and mother's cry
and fathers take a vow of death
Society has opened my eyes
and robbed me of my innocence
Where is my wonderland?
Please take me back again
