When You Open Up The Book

When you open up the Book
You dive into imagination about a forest that you see?
When you open up the Book
You find yourself at a palace wishing to be free?
When you open up the Book
You feel the words fly out, it’s too hard to read so you ask someone in plea?
When you open up the Book
There is more than what you would believe?
When you open up the book
You might sense yourself falling in your dream?
When you open up the book one more time
You can finally feel your disbelief
When you don’t open up the book
You forget the words inside it
When you open up the book again
You remember every bit
