Some walk the streets with eyes wide open
Chasing noise and neon signs unspoken
They say life is just what you see
Turn the page and let it be
But I open books with worn-out lines
And find the stars the faith the signs
Line by line and word by word
Silent voices long unheard
Not just this citys flashing light
But distant dreams that shine so bright
Reading ohit opens a door
Beyond the walls to something more
The worlds not only the road you tread
But stories that live inside your head
A book can lift a quiet soul
Give it wings and make it whole
Some say the world is far too real
No time for dreams no time to feel
But I find skies inside each page
A thousand thoughts beyond this age
Dont read and this is all youll see
The world confined to what will be
But read and suddenly its clear
The world you dream is drawing near
Every quiet night you spend alone
Builds a world youll call your own
