Utopia

We'd gather around All in a room Fasten our belts Engage in dialogue We'd all slow down Rest without guilt Not lie without fear Disagree sans judgement We would stay and respond And expand and include and allow and forgive And enjoy and evolve and discern And inquire and accept and admit And divulge and open and reach out and speak up This is utopia, this is my utopia This is my ideal, my end in sight Utopia, this is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate We'd open our arms We'd all jump in We'd all coast down into safety nets We would share and listen and support and welcome Be propelled by passion, not invest in outcomes We would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference Be gentle and make room for every emotion This is utopia, this is my utopia This is my ideal, my end in sight Utopia, this is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate We'd provide forums We'd all speak out We'd all be heard We'd all feel seen We'd rise post-obstacle, more defined, more grateful We would heal, be humbled and be unstoppable We'd hold close and let go and know when to do which We'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safe This is utopia, this is my utopia This is my ideal, my end in sight Utopia, this is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh --- Utopia - Alanis Morissette
