The Library
In the magical mystical place
Is the kind where secrets are kept
Held in the books that take up the space
The wonders and horrors you will face
Like the girl who forever slept
In the magical mystical place
All the tales about girls in lace
When they usually wept
Held in the books that take up the space
The books are my saving grace
And I am lost except
In the magical mystical place
The stories stay in their large brass case
But the true beauty is kept
Held in the books that take up the space
From fantasy, to a mystery case
The worlds I'd like to accept
In the magical mystical place
Held in the books that take up the space
