Imagine a Land


Imagine a land where love is the law
Where peace is a permanent state
A land without envy, deception or hate
A world that has stopped wanting war.

Imagine the lapping of waves on a shore
A rock-pool where terrapins mate
Imagine a land where love is the law
Where peace is a permanent state.

Imagine a soldier, wounds open and raw
His soul an unbearable weight
As he thinks of the child that he helped to create
Asleep in her cot by the door
Imagine a land where love is the law.
