In my mind
I can go where I want.
I can travel the world,
Scale the mountains, and
Explore the deep oceans.
In my mind,
I can soar like the eagle,
With freedom in my wings
To search the past driven
Into the present as the
Future approaches.
In my mind,
I can dance in the twilight
As the day breaks forth,
Overflowing in its radiance
To embrace My flighty path.
In my mind,
I can create my Eldorado,
My land of milk and honey,
With gold paved streets,
And pearl castles.
In my mind, I can go.
I can go where no one
Can reach me.
