Have a Seat Upon a Cloud

Take off your shoes 
and close your eyes,
relax upon my sand
Join me in my land of dreams,
reach out and take my hand.

Let me share my dreams with you
until you find your own
I'll take you there if you believe,
take mine out on loan.

Where birds are words so gracefully
they glide across the sky
Leave behind your worries,
here the rules do not apply.

Pick my flowers if you like
and plant a seed or two
Paint the sky in polka dots
if you do not like it blue.

Climb my trees, face your fears;
erase them one by one
See the world from up above
and don't stop at the sun.

When the world starts raining down 
and the sun is out of sight
Let your dreams control your mind
and help you through the night.

There's a place inside my dreams
for all who care to roam
So have a seat upon a cloud
and make yourself at home.
