There's a life
There is a life I can imagine, I could see us living there
We are dancing naked in a field, the girls have flowers in their hair
The 60’s are reborn again, Love is plentiful and free
We didn’t build a church to it, we just stopped to plant a tree
The factories became galleries, we adorned them with our art
We burned the houses of parliament, began a fresh new start
We made sundials from our shadow selves, to help us tell our time
Poetry was on the curriculum, the children spoke in rhyme
Musicians got a banker’s wage, the bankers could retrain
We changed our lifestyles and ditched the pills, to help us manage pain
The stars were in the sky again, and not upon our screens
The rainforests they sighed relief - as we lived within our means
I know I’m hopeful and quixotic, I’m a dreamer through and through
But - if you ever have flowers in your hair, then I’d like to dance with you!
