Your World

Your World

I've known the world as it really is

And the one that exists in my mind.

To both of these small and limited worlds,

I was almost resigned.

But then one day you clasped my hand

And in that silent moment after,

Both of these worlds became a land

As clear and young as lovers' laughter.

Your world
Is made of sun and ocean and sky,
Your world
Is warm and free;
Dreams live
And men are unashamed if they cry
In this world you've made for me.
Come, breathe in the sunlight
And feel the ocean expand,
Come watch my solitude
Drown in the sand.
Look up at the sky with me,
Look up there and pray
That I will stay
Here in your world.
