You say you’re tired of the rat race
You need to get out, you need some space
In times like these there is one thing you can do
It seems to help me, let’s see what it does for you

Come along with me
I think you’ll want to come
It’s a place with no worries
You’re guaranteed to have fun

Leave all your troubles behind
Go on and clear your mind
Close your eyes and picture it
Tell me, what did you find?

You may go anywhere you want to go
just close your eyes and watch the show
Picture yourself where you want to be
Close your eyes and then you’ll see

Take a deep breath and hold it then let it go
That really does nothing to help it’s all just for show
You may calm yourself in no time at all
just close your eyes and hold all your calls

Forget your problems, push them aside for a while
Close your eyes and think of a place that’s sure to make you smile
Turn down the sound and turn up your frown
Close your eyes and you’re back in your hometown


When you’ve had enough and need a break don’t keep making the same mistake
Find a quiet place where you can be alone and close your eyes and go back home
It doesn’t cost a dime to take a trip in your mind
You just close your eyes and sit back, you’ll be just fine

You’d like to leave but you can’t go
Close your eyes and make it so
You can be anywhere that you want to be but only for a short while you see because when you open your eyes again you’re right in the middle of reality my friend

You say you’re tired of the rat race and you need your own space
Understand you can go anywhere as long as you cover your face
Protect each other and do your part to save the human race
If you’re stuck inside close your eyes and go to your happy place
