Unlocked

 

Take now of this key from my trembling hand.
Dare to unlock the secrets to a mystical land.
For it is within this world that imagination abounds.
Oh in this magical place that I in my youth found.

Son thou art the flesh of my bones; take now of this key.
Open your heart; your mind to a world that is free.
For as of me; I am now old and gray.
My time grows shorter each passing day.

Therefore tarry not in this most wonderful quest.
Live now youths dream is of thee my only behest.
For tomorrow is only held in the heart and mind.
