I wish that I were miles away
from the world and all its strife
where peace flows like a river
and there's no hate in life
where happiness is constant
where war is just unknown
and silence is enough
for all the life I've known
I wish that I were miles away
from the world and all the madness
where death is non-existent
where there isn't any sadness
where pollution has no place
where the air is clean and sweet
and strangers are but friends
that you have yet to meet
I wish that I were miles away
from the clutches of the mind
that seek to drive one crazy
my world's a different kind
Let me fly away forever
where the sun shines endlessly
and gaze from there, at earth
to see what I can see
