Is There A Place

Is there a place, where the poor don't live day to day,
Is there a place, where children of all races can play,
Is there a place, where gay and lesbians worldwide can wed,
Is there a place, where memorials stay clean, and we respect our dead,
It sounds like a dreamland, can you tell me people really care,
It sounds like a wonderful land, and I would want to go there.

Is there a place, where we can all live in peace,
Is there a place, where you can have a beer with the police,
Is there a place, where nobody wants to go anywhere,
Is there a place, where they are no arguments and we share,
This does sound like a dreamland, can you tell me this place exists,
It really sounds too nice, the only clenching is cheering fists.

Is there a place, where nobody is abused,
Is there a place, where you don't feel used,
Is there a place, where couples stay together,
Is there a place, where we can all live forever,
Definitely this place is not here,
This is a place, where there is more fear than cheer.

What can we do to fix the whole thing,
Where people are happy, and just want to sing,
Because if we do this, then they won't like that,
There seems to be no tolerance, and that's where we are at,
The little things WE do, will chip away at the grime,
Eventually things will be better, we just need a bit more time.
