Lyrics

Gaze into hypnotic flashing lights, witness these extraordinary sites.
Let me take you from reality, to fantasy and then you?ll see.

It is easier to fantasize, when life is painful simply close your eyes.
Then open them unto my light and we?ll take flight to calm tranquility

Lead break

When you know the meaning of within, then you?ll know exactly where we?ve been.
Open up your mind, and you?ll forget about the time for just a while, become a child.
