Inside your Mind

There is a land, across the sea

Across the rivers, mountains, trees

Where dreams come true, and all are free

A picture perfect island

But while that land, across the sea

Seems great and good, and all are free

Not all is bright, for in the trees

A slumb'ring beast lies waiting

"Waiting for what?" you ask in fear

This beast is fed on human tears

And now it waits for you, my dear

Its patience wearing thinner

"Will you go now, cross all those seas

Cross all those rivers, mountains, trees

And leave this land, learn to be free

And fight the waiting creature?"

"Will you restore, give back, the peace

And win the fight against the beast

And on return, your strength increased

Your struggle made you stronger?"

You nod your head, you try to find

The island that I just described

But alas, it's in your mind

Not found in worlds around you

The island is your hopes and dreams

The joy of life, the little things

A place where ev'ryone, it seems

Is kind and gentle to you

The beast is you, your doubts and fears

And yes, it feeds off of your tears

Hides in the dark, it looks and leers

It waits, to come and grab you

There is a land, across the sea

With a monster called anxiety

You can defeat him, you will see

With just a bit of courage
