The Lie of the Land

 

Tell me the story of a distant land

Far beyond the stars

Its shores awash with a radiant glow

Its visage the picture of calm

 

Tell me about its boundless beauty

Deep as the ocean

From the dew that glistens on a rose

To the spectral aura of a sunrise

 

Tell me what it's like to be happy

Peaceful and content

There is no pain or suffering here 

No dashed hopes or shattered dreams

 

Tell me what everyone longs to hear

Deep down in their hearts

Somewhere there exists a better world

Its virtue shines within us all

 

Tell me if I'll ever see this place

I already know
