UTOPIA, by                    
First Line: There's a place that lives in all my dreams
Last Line: Let us all help to build it on earth.
Subject(s): Utopia


There's a place that lives in all my dreams
(That it's make believe place, I know.)
It's a land where always Truth is king;
A land where ideal folks grow.

The land where men are both good and bad,
And the bad are as fine as the good; --
The land where men are never afraid
To do the things that they know they should.

The land where folks are both weak and strong,
And the meek are as brave as the fit;
The land where men are never ashamed
To live and laugh for the fun of it.

The land where never a lie is told --
Where a word in hate is never heard;
The land where women stand by their men
And all men are true to their word.

A land where folly is not a sin,
Where the folks help a man prove his worth;
Ah! show me that land that fills my dreams --
Let us all help to build it on earth.
