In a Far off land called Nevertheless,

There is a place of pure happiness

Everything is different there

No aging, worries , cares or fear

There is something different about the light

Not quite day nor not quite night

Almost like perpetual eternal twilight

The land of Nevertheless is a lovely sight

I go there when I am weary

When my eyes are moist and teary

For the sights I see entrance me

I am free to dream my fantasy

Butterflies of all hues and busy little bees

Flowers of all colors, and carpets of purple seas

Fairy's spreading dust of sparkling magic

Creating beauty from things tragic

And there upon a lovely meadow

With the twilight skies hung low

Is a serendipity blue horse prancing

And my heart and soul start dancing

In this land of Nevertheless

I have found a sense of peacefulness

The fairies and Angeles intermingling

The fusion of wonders have me singing.

Oh, if this place of Nevertheless, could just be real

I could live there forever and do it with zeal

For my heart is somewhere far from here, searching for my love

I'd ride that lovely blue Horse to find him, in Heaven up above.

Such a wonderful place for escaping. I'd like to go there too. I hope there's an extra blue horse and that I don't fall off this time when I try to ride a horse. I guess in such a lovely place, I wouldn't fall off the horse!
