All in the Mind

You can always be alone

Find a space that's all your own if you need to

Tap resources deep within

To escape the clang and din that impede you

It's all in the mind, the shackles and chains

The doubts that can blind, the fear that constrains

The freedom to float, to live unconfined

It's all in the mind

But she's always right here

So you close a door inside and hide

Hide where?

In a secret place you'll find

Where you're free and un-entwined

But how?

Haven't you ever been in conversation

And your mind drifted somewhere else?

Or been in a room surrounded by people

And yet felt a million miles away?

Oh, yes, I have

Of course

Well, that's where to go when you want to be alone

You can go there right now, if you really want to

We can't disappear like you

I must go, but I'll return

With some practice you will learn separating

When you mentally are free

You can come and visit me, I'll be waiting

It's all in the mind, the joy and the dread

The way we're defined, the lies we've been fed

The key to escape, restrictions that bind

It's all in the mind

All in the mind
