Are an escape from what is real?

Who reach beyond the page
To take our hand and pull us in.”

But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.”

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
