The days are sunnier
The evenings mellower
The journey is less daunting and the goal much closer
If I close my eyes, and believe

The past is not history
Joys of childhood not merely a memory
The smell of the earth still lingers
If I close my eyes, and believe

Life's not been hardened by disappointments
The fear of loneliness is a distant cloud
It's much easier to hope
If i close my eyes, and believe

Would happiness not be assured ;
A reality , of which I'm the architect .
Would only have to reach out and touch
A world that i'd always dreamt of
If I closed my eyes, and believed that I hadn't.
