Analysis of A Haven Away



Living in the sound of nature
dreamy imaginations
share
Smiles and blue skies
And favor
worlds away and safer there

Watch for a place of wonder
Okay
Find somewhere lonely
 a haven away
from the cries up yonder
 you falter unsure
Calling as I watch you sway

Oh trembling foundation
 I am touched by all your sighs
You're slipping further
In the isolation
so I say
 rise
you must rise

Reach up and grab the clouds
Today
While the golden colors fly
They fly
You can touch them now
don't waver
ever
You can feel them if you try
