Paradise, I needed to see, feel, and breathe paradise
Escaped, escaped reality, escaped the hell we call life
Disappeared, left behind my identity, through away all my strife
Soaring high through heavens light
Never again will I have to fight to keep myself a flight
Like a baby who sleeps soundly through the night
I don't wake up until the sun shines bright
I open the window and a sea breeze blows in
It carries a feeling of happiness which makes me grin
I walk down the shore and let the sand overtake my toes
Such insignificant granules, life they will never know
Crystal clear waters lap at the shore, overhead the birds do sore
As I sit on the beach I begin to see what life has in store for me
Back to college I will go, so much more my mind will grow
I will begin driving one of these days
so that I can have the privilege of getting away
from the game of life that all of us play
There are some days when I just want to cry
Where will life lead me? How hard must I try
to keep myself from being squashed like a fly?
God, watch over me, take me where I need to go
I am so lost, there is so much more I need to know
I don't know what to do with my life; I need to find myself now
I need to take chances, through obstacles I must plow
I will not give up hope as I am still young and not alone
I will keep my chin up because I know
I will always have a place to call home
