Lyrics
Gently
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gently my mind escapes
Into the relaxing world of pleasure
A pleasure that'll take my mind
Off the reality of my life
My past life, life as I know it now
And whatever may come, it slowly disappears
To somewhere in the back of my mind
It will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it
Yes, I will stay here for a while, for I need the break
A break from the pressures of life
And everything that lays in the palm of life's hands
Life's hands
This mode is incredible
It's out of this world
Too bad I must always leave it
But that's life
That's life, yeah
That's life, yeah
That's life, yeah
