lyrics

We’re living in a world of facts and figures
A land of businessmen
Who did what they were told, when they were young
And grew old
Now it’s their turn to hold the cane
And teach children the same
Varnishing their hearts, feeding their brains
Over and over again
From the grey walls of the hospital
To the grey walls of the classroom
To the grey walls of the office
To the grey gravestone
You accept life to be as they say
For you don’t know any other way
Once so young and innocent, you grew up their way

We’re living in a land of logic
But my spirits elsewhere
The world is flat and pigs fly
Wonderlands just over there

And so, this life of mine carried on
Sometimes lonely here
Then one day you appeared, and said, “Come with me”
Well I did;
Rolling about in the long green grass
Getting dirty with you
Eating wild strawberries
Red stains around our lips
Sitting under apple trees
There's no forbidden fruit where we lay
By the slow running stream, spill tears of joy
With the warmth of our hearts
With the power of imagination
Our hopes and dreams have become reality

We’re living in a world gone wrong
But belong elsewhere
Over the rainbow
Come on and meet me there
