Imagine

Imagine a world
Where wind blows so soft
And laughter and joy
Were frequent and oft.

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

With your best friends around you
You're never alone
and each day after school
You talk on the phone.

When you know if your 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 summers day
As you stand there and watch it
all get torn away.

after 3 months of mourning
you're in a new school
Where your youngest and dumbest
and feel like a fool

There used to be good days
and bad days were rare
But now thats reversed
and your to cold to care

For the warmth that you loved
has blown off on the breeze
Now your shivering and cold
always ill at ease

Your hearts in your throat
and the fears in your mind
But where to go now
When the worlds so unkind?

You flee from the lunchroom
And dash for the stairs
knowing no one will miss you
Because nobody cares

And as tears streak your face
At noon every day
You wonder if ever
You won't feel this way.

Imagine a world
of deception and fear
With lies, drinks, and drugs
That don't belong here

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 nightmare of change
Until we reach the end.
