Bookworm

I open pages
And find worlds
Awaiting
I burn words with eyes
Consuming daydreams
By moonlight
Candles burn down
The flame shake
Shifting shadows
My fingers waste paper away
Just turning to places of where
My imagination
Might take me

If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go

I'd be play'n hooky with
Huckleberry Finn
Floating down a river
On a raft of rope 'n' twigs
Not a shower in a week
Tom Sawyer at my feet
With wheat between my teeth
To top it off
Adrift under miles of stars
In the sky
For as far as the eye can see
And as long as i keep on reading

If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go

I'd be a buccaneer
Swashbuckling aboard an open ship
Upon the ocean
Drifting off to the Caribbean
In search of sunken treasure
Where there are
Golden coins for my hands to get ahold of
Over water blue as turquoise is
Frosted glass that's molten
Like lava
There'd be a parrot on my shoulder
And a pirate in my eyesight
Just in range of musket
Masquerading as a musketeer
I'm asking passers by
Where my adventure might be found
I'm not surprised
They turn around
And say keep reading

If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go

I would jump to time and place
That correlates
To where and when it is
That i would find
The one they call The Hobbit that i've heard of
And about to be invisible
By wearing finger ring all magical
Shallow water wading
On our way through mazes cavernous
A dragon that's carnivorous comes
Chasing us through corridors
And this is where i worry or
Reorient myself
Here we are
In an eerie area
Very unaware of a
Way outta there
Meanwhile
All i had to do was turn the page
And keep on reading

If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go

I would be believing
Lucy's every word
About a land behind a wardrobe
And run with her right in
Until i'm passing sleeves of coats
Becoming leaves of trees behind
Until a lamp ahead
Is light enough
To find a fawn
That tells us who he is
And that indeed
We are in Narnia
Like escaping from a coma
Into escalating escapade
The landscape i scope
Is an awakening
Takening
Me right here
Where even all the escorts
Are well spoken animals
From the ever busy beavers
That are eagerly receiving us
To even all the wolves we are aware of
Serving enemies of Aslan
He who is the
One lion
We all rely on
One lion
We all rely on
One lion
To be turning
To be turning chaos into order
And all stone to flesh
For the battle 'bout to happen
That i'm eagerly awaiting
For the outcome of
With my momentum in gaining
By riding remaining
Animated narrating
Whenever endeavoring
Sitting and keeping on reading

If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go

I'd be disciple of Messiah
In the Bible second testament
Passing up the basket's
Leftovers after
He fed five thousand
Following for years then
I'd watch Him walk the earth
Rebirthing life
And dropping seeds of revolution
Then giving lasting
Liberation fast
For those bad off
Enough for them to
Let Him know right where they are
And what it is they're going through
And as opposed to most back then
Who said women weren't allowed to learn
He said pull up a seat
Now, woman sit 'n' listen
'cause there's wisdom for those
Who have ears to
Hear a parable
Over there a miracle
Hear a parable
Over there a miracle
The deaf hear
The lame walk
The blind recieve sight
Like these eyes of mine
Whenever i
Happen to open a book
And keep on reading

If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
Where my imagination takes me
If i could only go
