i'd like to be able
to fly like a bird
far away from the problems
that dwell in our world
i wish i could pull the covers
over my head
forget about life
and go back to bed
or i'd be a sailor
and ride off to sea
surrounded by water
perhaps i'd be free
i'd like to escape
if just for a while
but running away
is just not my style
i'm quite claustrophic
my problems move near
is there no escape
from our fear
