Utopia

I dreamt that we were really free
Like the soaring birds in the air
We were standing under the mango tree
And finally the world was fair

I dreamt that we freely showed our love
We touched and kissed in the gardens
The birds peacefully sang from above
And we didn't share the world's burdens

I only wish dreams came true
We'd have a life where only happiness flows
The sky would always be blue
And we'd never have to face life's blows

But they'll only ever be dreams
We gotta learn to live with guilt
'Cause our forbidden passion's full to the brims
And we'll wonder why the world's so unfairly built...
