"Utopia"

Oh, how I wish, just for a day, To journey the globe where dreams may lay, To see from above all that's truly grand, The goodness that fills every soul, unplanned. Oh, how I wish, just for a day, To roam this world, its heights I'd sway, Through mountains and valleys, I'd bravely tread, And hear from all corners a calming thread. Oh, how I wish, just for a day, To gaze upon power and not to sway, From thoughts of destruction, I'd stay free, And wild ideas wouldn't imprison me. Oh, how I wish, just for a day, To gather all malice, all dismay, To whisk them away to a far-off place, Unafraid of monsters, I'd boldly embrace. Oh, how I wish, just for a day, That peace would reign, with no delay, But alas, I know, it's a distant dream, In a world where things aren't as they seem. Oh, how I wish, just for a day, To sever the knot of fear, I pray, To banish from lips all sordidness, And declare to the world, It's just emptiness. And declare to the world, It's just emptiness.
