Tell me a little story about a time,
When happiness was a common state of mind.
Was it that things were less complicated,
Or were we just a bit more blind?
Do you still believe in faith, love and hope?
Do you think we'll ever reconcile?
The anger, bitterness and animosity,
Ever looming in an elegant style.
It's time for compassion,
Even for the more-shallow of heart.
Surrender the manipulations.
Let your conscience be your guide.
Y'ever really wonder what life's about?
And do you think we'll eventually realize,
That there's more to this existence than ever meets the eye.
Of our future, what do you surmise?
We search for the answer,
In the tangible and obvious signs.
But for the true meaning,
Open your heart, search with your soul and mind.
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
