My Sanctuary

The sun is setting
The leaves fall-fall is setting in
There's a slight breeze outside
It's getting cold

I walk outside
to feel the breeze against my face
I close my eyes and listen...

I live in a world
where there's so much life around me
But for that moment I feel like I'm the only one

The only one, and for that moment
I picture myself in another place
... My Sanctuary ...

I go over and sit on a bench
and can hear the birds overhead
My mind starts to wander
Life wouldn't seem so bad as a bird

They get to see the world
I would like to see the world
So much I have yet to see
So many people I have yet to meet

I open my eyes
I go back inside
Back to reality
