I'Ve Heard The World Is A Beautiful Place Poem by Annie Cordelia Adams

i'm so tired i could just float away
i'm so tired i could leave this place
won't you come with me tonight?
i've heard the world is a beautiful sight

i could just fade away
flight into the sky just like
a dream in your memories
come find it here with me
never knew i could be so lonely
like those in a crowd
never sayin' a word outloud
because they're all waiting
and i'm the one looking to be found

you say i write poetry but you know i don't
i write about the sea nothing could be more empty
come along don't wait too long
time beats on and on and on

i'm holding on to one word
just a little something to carry me through
it's like a letter from God
gotta keep the faith, keep holding on

sometimes when you're so low, you could
fall right into fate, it's like
winning for nothing and losing your hope
and it's just like that today

never knew i could be so lonely
like those in a crowd
never sayin' a word outloud
because they're all waiting
and i'm the one looking to be found
