If Here the villains often win and heroes play the fool

If Here reward feels random and friendship just a tool -

If There two lovers, star-crossed, can take each other's hand

And when worlds fall around them, they make an honest stand -

If Here mercy is fairy tales and faith's a funny joke

And kindness Never Never Land and poets all are broke -

If There the fight is worth it and family never dies

And sunlight shines down on you from gray and rainy skies -

If Here is what there really is and There's mere fantasy,

Then sometimes I'll abide There. Come, friend; abide with me.
