Anywhere But Here

I want to share beauty
Anywhere but here
I want to see universal ecstasy
Anywhere but here

I want to see all lights glitter
Anywhere but here
Be mesmerized by the moon's totality
Anywhere but here

I love to tread each star
Anywhere but here
Travel many a mile afar
Anywhere but here

Make mine as is mine
Anywhere but here
So that thine can be thine
Anywhere but here

Until our love be passionate
Anywhere but here
Self-realize our compassion
Anywhere but here

Though a simple fool I be
It's why I can't take you along with me
Many a reason I may ponder
Though the pain doth tear me asunder

For within oneself there sheds a past
Some dark memories that may still yet be cast
I shall break for none, as to where I steer
To feel life and its joys
Anywhere but here.
