I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,
OUT OF A DREAM
I SAW A WORLD THERE,
I’D NEVER SEEN
WHERE EVERYONE SHARED,
AND REAL LOVE NEAR
LIES WERE OFF-LIMITS,
NO ONE KNEW FEAR,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
NO TERROR, NO SPATS
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT
..
ROSES WERE BLOOMING,
OVERPOWERING THE WEEDS,
AND CHILDREN RANG LAUGHTER,
WITH PLENTY TO EAT,
THEIR LEADERS TALKED STRAIGHT,
NO SHELL GAMES NO FOOLS
RESPECT ALWAYS RAMPANT,
NO GANGS AND NO DUELS
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
HONESTY WHERE IT’S AT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT
...
[CHORUS]
EVERYBODY LOVED EVERYBODY
AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM
NO ONE DENIED THE FREEDOM,
THEY SOUGHT TO LIVE & LOVE,
AND CLING TO EVERYTHING LIGHT
NO PUPPET MASTERS,
DECIDING THE TRUTH
TELL YA RIGHT OFF THE BAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
...
A LAND OF MILK AND HONEY,
NEVER BLOOD AND STEEL
GREAT LEADERS STEPPED FORWARD
AS LOVE TURNED THE WHEEL
LEADERS TALKED HONESTY
ALWAYS WITH RESPECT
FREE TO LIVE TO LOVE EACH OTHER
AND CLING TO EVERYTHING LIGHT
HONESTY WHERE IT’S AT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
I AWOKE WITH A VISION
A WORLD COULD EXIST
STRONG MEN, IN POSITION
TO PERMEATE HAPPINESS
A TIME FOR THE LAND
YES THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY,
NEVER BLOOD AND STEEL
GREAT LEADERS STEPPED FORWARD
AS LOVE TURNED THE WHEEL
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT,
TELL YA RIGHT OFF THE BAT,
I WOULD LOVE IT LIKE THAT
