Lyrics
Where there's no factory

Or warden to please

Trees, they've got leaves

Everything's green

No wires and strings with bulbs buzzing

No smoke in the sky, just stars that shine

There's light everywhere, sun fills the air

No dark corner unscathed, no shadow is safe

High above the chimney tops, somewhere off in the sky

There's a burning sun for us, that someday I will go and find

But until that day, it feels so far away

There's songs being sung, fresh air in your lungs

The bird's nests have eggs, not cobwebs

No one goes to sleep with nothing to eat

No one's keeping score

No voices ignored

No orphans who miss their mom and dad's kiss

High above these crumbling roofs, somewhere past the mountain tops

There's a better life for us, that someday we will come across

But 'til our exit's eve, I'll just make believe

I'll play pretend

I'll make believe

I'll imagine a world where I'm happy and naive

I'll put on a show

And perform my part to play

There must be more than this...

And there is, I just know

That I was meant to go

Until then, I'll just play pretend
