Fantasy World
-Lexie Willard
2004

Reality is overrated
I don't want to be so concentrated
Let's drift away
To a fantasy world
I want to go back in time
To when I was a little girl
Life was so much easier then
Let's travel back in time to when
We played games
And we jumped rope
We had so much to gain
And every reason to hope
Life was carefree and full of wonder
Life was easy going and life was funner
The difference is back then we lived our lives
We weren't just a spec or a dot in time
There's just one question I might ask
Why is living rather than existing such a task?
That's just a question and this is just a thought
But I'd rather live fairytales than what this life has brought
Our minds are for learning and imagining such things
If you think and dream and wonder
Who knows what that could bring
I dream wonderful fantasies, yes I am very smart
Cause who wants to live this reality
Be honest with your childlike heart
Reach deep inside
For the young one that's there
The young one who's innocent
And the young one who cares
The young one will take you to your father above
Because the young one is full of that Christlike love
Don't ridicule those who seem like "young" adults
They are better off than you
You have greater faults
They're just trying to get away
From the reality that life is
A child is in his heart
And that heart is truly his
Why don't we all lay back
And drift into that world
The world where you are a little boy
And I am a little girl
My brother is already there
And I am on my way
When I finally arrive there
I'll always there stay
