Somewhere

freespirit30 1967 (Carthage)

Free verse
When I'm lonely
I sit and dream,
I dream of riding
Faster and faster
Until I'm somewhere-
Somewhere else-
Another world far,
Far from my own.

Somewhere people live in peace,
There is no talk of war.

We are all brothers
Somewhere
How can I come home?
