A laughingryphon sits high above
Perched on an outstretched limb
He is far enough away
That nothing affects him
Down below the people fight
And wars are won and lost
And many more decide that living
Just isn't worth the cost
Famine and disease run rampant
They go about afflicting many
There is so much corruption
One may wonder if there's any
Hope for the future
And for the next few generations
Or will they too grow up
In a world of warring nations
But somewhere there's a fantastic place
Far away from all this mess
Still, one probably couldn't go there-
Couldn't go there unless-
Unless they flew of gryphon's wings
To this magical land
One couldn't be truly happy
Except in this place so grand
It's the best place you can imagine
It's where I want to be
And the laughingryphon lives there
How jealous I am of he
And looking back at how bad it is
In this place so far below
So many things go through my head
And I am curious to know...
A laughingryphon sits high above
On an outstretched limb
Is he perched far enough away
That nothing affects him?
