Hi! Is this thing on?

Utopia
Alanis Morissette

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
