World in Focus

there's a world out west
where the sun never sets
and the people don't smile
though they're the happiest that
they've ever been in a while

no buildings in sight here
the people that live there
they don't speak like you and I
and yet they listen
to your restless dreaming
throughout the starry night

the end
it calls to you

you want to reach out
curl around
the breath of a promise
this falling provides
in the midst of a mountain
and the sinking of sky
you're walking along now
against the drop of the world

you can see it now
fully in focus
there's nothing else
