*Dancing
dancing in the streets we go
we go
dancing in the streets we go
we gather as one
under the sun
people of all color and ages come
one planet
one nation
that's us
singing and clapping as we go
out of metal cities
and clouds of smog
to field of sunflowers cabbage and corn
not a single child would starve
no more
people of all colors and ages come
and is not heaven
but the land we created
together
dreaming praying
going out there and behaving
like brothers and sisters
not enemies or critters
we one and connected
to land plants
universe
we finally gave up
laws courts and political lies
dollar bills build fires during winter
our cars sit waiting
to be recycle into bycicles
no need to be afraid anymore
bullets and batons grow rust
prison bars
become baseball bats
n out we go
dancing
dancing in the streets we go
weeee gooooo*
(* go back to top
and repeat endlessly until things happen)
