Take me to a place that nobody else knows,
a place below a shady green orchard,
where the trees blossom with glowing fruit.

Take me to a place where we can drift away,
a place where worries become lost among the flowers,
where gardens grow thick with purple daylilies.

Take me to a place that's untouched by snow,
a place that's warm and cloudless through all seasons,
where the sun and the breeze live in quiet harmony.

Take me to a place that's cradled from clamor,
a place beyond the world's ceaseless din,
where we'll drift to sleep to a songbird lullaby.

Take me to a place where we can run free,
a place without fences, or boundaries, or borders,
where the fields sprawl endlessly in radiant sunshine.

So take me to that place that nobody else knows,
to that place unsullied by ugliness and hatred,
to that tranquil oasis of beauty and peace,
where the love-font springs and flows through all.
