Away From Here

In this world nothing is free
Even the air we breathe seems to have price
Even love is for sale
     though I hate to agree

Here, nothing is constant
Nobody is permanent
They all vanish in an instant

A place where money is made god
Where everything is bought
And good things are truly bad

I want a place somewhere
Where money has no power
   and love is free
Just somewhere away from here

There is a place tucked away, in dreams, a land where they'll come true, my destination, my plan is to wake up one day and find that it will be realised, a land with no borders, a world where all is one and one means together, everybody having fun and everything is free, one day, with you I agree, somewhere a place so far away from here, Utopia, maybe?
