Closer Than You Think

you've got a vision of some far off day

beautiful and bright

a carrot hanging out of reach

but always in your sight

there's an icon in your mind

that stands for happiness someday

a picture on the wall

of a kingdom far away

but oh, it's closer than you think

oh, it's breathing in between

oh, it's closer than you think

oh, it's right under your feet

the sky is much more blue

and the clouds are always white

the streets of course are gold

and always lit with rays of light

there's nothing on this earth

that's as good as whats up there

life is so much better

when you're floating in the air

forget about your bother

if he doesn't seem to understand

the heaven you've concocted in your head

never mind your sister

when she asks you silly questions

about all the broken people left unfed

the burning questions are better left for dead

you can spend your life inside a box

looking through stained glass

and dream about a better day

and home that it comes fast
