UPTOPIA
Verse 1:
I'm not aware that I'm not there but over here
I've lived my life now I'm dead. I've got nothing to fear
I'm living large, yes I am, but we're all the same
I don't know you yet I know you 'cause I know your name
In this world everybody's equal
Live this life, the next is the sequel
It's as good as I always thought and wished it would be
Millionaires and princesses in my neighbourhood
I'm as wealthy as the next man, yes, you and me
It's all good - no jealousy or envy
People sharing all the things they wouldn't share before
'N fighting for your rights a right you'd never fight no
more
One religion
One god for every race and creed
No more wars
No more hurting there's no need to bleed
Strangers walking hand in hand, we're not afraid to care
'N children playing in the streets without a single fear
Lovin' one another's something we only seem to know
Life in the fast lane but only nice and slow
Only the good are here, the young, the old, the rich, the
poor
And we're all family now, rejoicing as we meet once more
Everybody looks young and at their prime again
No stress - no suffering - no tension - no pain
Hell ain't no nice place to be, Amen
'Cause if you really ain't bad, ha-hah!, you'll know it then
Verse 2:
There is no need for Ten Commandments now
Because no-one believes they're holier-than-thou
Thou shalt not kill doesn't come into play
And every single day's the Sabbath so we keep it holy
Better to reign in Heaven than to serve in Hell
Drinking wine with the Lord from the Holy Grail
The good has been seperated from the evil
No temptation now 'cause the Devil cannot cast his spell
Verse 3:
I'm flying high in the sky like a 747
The best place to be is definitely Heaven
There's no crime
There's no sin
There's no death
So there's definitely no next of kin
I don't know what it's like to be jealous of a next man's
things
I don't know what it's like the hatred that jealousy brings
It's all good in the 'hood and everybody knows this
We're not afraid to greet each other with a kiss
Life goes on after you've passed away
There's no reason for no treason only time to play
Live the life you love 'n love the life 'n live it well
Damnation to all those who die under the spell
One thing I promise you do not be afraid
If you've loved your life according to how you'll make the
grade
I can fly like an angel 'cause I've got my wings
I can join the dawn chorus 'cause every angel sings
So I guess I'm an angel 'cause I'm not in Hell
I didn't visit limbo long, no, I didn't dwell
And I sometimes wonder why I was afraid to die
It's a breath of fresh air to live without a lie
If you've got nothing to fear then it's time to go
On a wing and a prayer go with the flow
Hell ain't no nice place to be, Amen
'Cause if you really ain't bad, Ha-hah!, you'll know it
then.
Promised Land (Reprise)
We live and we learn
(With heart and soul and mind)
You can't control your destiny
To fight to the death
(Right to the bitter end)
Doesn't have to be the way
And from your mistakes
(You got to take the breaks)
You've got to find a better way
So follow your heart
(Your spirit guides you through)
To make this world a promised land
Promised Land (Loren & Mash studio Live)
There's a reason, we gotta let each other know
Y'gotta give respect to the other people
Sometimes it ain't easy, you work your fingers to the bone
Then you find you gotta climb another mountain
Look at all the children, the girls and boys ain't got no
choice
They've got to play the hand that life has dealt them
There should be no friction, no divide, should be
colour-blind
Gotta be a game that we can play together
We live and we learn
With heart and soul and mind
You can't control your destiny
To fight to the death
Right to the bitter end
Doesn't have to be the way
And from your mistakes
You've got to take the breaks
You've got to find a better way
Let's make a master plan
To take us to the promised land
Star
Printable Version Chorus:
Follow your star
Shining it's light all through your life
Guiding you on, giving you strength
For living in perfect harmony
Getting it right, keeping it strong
And learn to let our troubles die
Don't be afraid, you'll have the faith
If you just follow, follow your star
Sometimes you're feelin' all alone
And you're needing somewhere to turn
You've got to seek inside your soul
When there's no-one else around.
Just hold your head up
Don't let it get you down
(If) its too high to climb
You can always go around
Bridge
'Cos there's always more than one way
To get you through a bad day
If you only have faith in yourself
When you think you've hurt someone
And their sorrow you can't overcome
Feel like you're heartless and don't care
You need someone to help you out
Just hold out your hand
And you'll be amazed
What you can get through
If you just communicate
(Bridge)
Mid-8
It's all about your star
Your guardian, your charm
Your eyes, when you walk through the darkness.
(Half-chorus, then full chorus)
The Image of Me playback
Chorus
Look at me, what do you see ?
Am I real, or just a dream,
Am I something that you need,
Or just an image of me ?
Outro - never shall we return from conflict we must learn
Far in the distance is cast a shadow
Symbol of our freedom will bring us salvation
On the horizon hope for Tomorrow
Sweeping across the land to give us unity
Look to the heavens with tears of triumph
To cherish a new life and suffer not again
Lift up your spirits from all destruction
Never shall we return from conflict we must learn
