Tell Me a Story
Tell me a story
Dazzle me with your eyes
Capture me with your words
Rile me in with your lies
Tell me of a world of beauty
Sing me a perfect song
One full of love and happiness
In a world where we all get along
Tell me of a great fantasy land
Where money doesn't rule
Where everyone is equal
Where nobody is cruel
Where people never go hungry
And never have to live on the streets
Where children can play carelessly
And not have to worry about who they meet
Where poverty isn't an issue
And no one speaks of war
And where nobody knows
What weapons are made for
Tell me a story
Of a world unlike our own
Of a world we'll never see
Of a world we've never known
