THIS IS WHAT I WANT (FARMLAND)
BY APRIL DAWN LEWIS 

IT WASN'T SO BAD GROWING UP IN A TOWN WHERE THERE WERE FARMS
TO THE LEFT AND MANSIONS TO THE RIGHT
I HAD TO STRETCH MY WINGS
AND LEARN HOW TO FLY

SO I LEFT FARMLAND AND LANDED IN STARLAND
BUT LIFE HAS A WAY OF NEVER TURNING OUT
HOW YOU THOUGHT
YOU HAVE DREAMS TO LIVE BUT SOMEHOW YOU JUST END UP GETTING CAUGHT

IN A LIFE THAT'S FAKE, IN A LOVE THAT DIES
IN A HOUSE THAT AIN'T A HOME
IT'S NEVER ENDING 
UNTIL YOU STOP PRETENDING

THAT YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU WANT
IT'S NEVER WHAT YOU WANT.


SO I WENT BACK KNOWING THAT IN A TOWN WERE THERE ARE FARMS
TO THE LEFT AND MANSIONS TO THE RIGHT
I NEEDED TO FIND MY WAY BACK HOME
WITH WINGS ON MY BACK TO FARMLAND
AND LEFT CITY LIGHTS OF STARLAND

BUT LIFE HAS A WAY OF NEVER TURNING OUT
HOW YOU THOUGHT
YOU HAVE DREAMS TO LIVE BUT SOMEHOW YOU JUST END UP GETTING CAUGHT

IN A LIFE THAT'S REAL, IN A LOVE THAT'S RIGHT
IN A HOUSE THAT'S NOW A HOME
THE PAIN'S ENDING 
YOU'VE STOPPED PRETENDING

THAT YOUR LIFE ISN'T WHAT YOU WANT
THIS IS WHAT I WANT.
