• Imagine a world
    Where the wind blows soft
    And laughter and joy
    Are heard frequent and oft.

    Imagine a world
    Where the work is like play,
    And the sun smiles warmly
    On you everyday.

    With your best friends around you
    You’re never alone
    And each day after school,
    You all talk on the phone.

    Where you know if you’re sad,
    There are places to go;
    A soft shoulder to cry on
    As you let your pain go.

    Now imagine that world
    On a bright summer’s day
    As you stand there and watch
    All get torn away.

    After three months of mourning,
    You’re in a new school
    Where you’re youngest and dumbest;
    You feel like a fool.

    There used to be good days
    And bad days were rare,
    But now that’s reversed
    And you’re to cold to care.

    For the warmth that you loved
    Has blown off on the breeze;
    Now you’re shivering and cold,
    Always ill at ease.

    Your hearts in your throat
    And your fears in your mind,
    But were to go now
    When the world is so unkind?

    You flee from the lunch room
    And dash down the stairs
    Knowing no one will miss you
    Because nobody cares.

    And as tears streak your face
    At noon everyday,
    You wonder if ever
    You won’t feel this way.

    Imagine a world
    Of deception and fear
    Of lies, drinks, and drugs
    That don’t belong here.

    And imagine my friend,
    Just what would you do?
    If this new scary life
    Thrust itself upon you?

    And so that is why
    Sometimes I won’t talk;
    Why I flee class so anxious
    And go for a walk.

    I need you right now,
    So please stay with me, friend
    Through this night mare of change
    Until we reach the end.
