Here between these walls The world is intoxicated And you and I are the only ones sane As we negotiate each others pain And compensate it with blissful pleasure Only we can fix all that is wrong Beyond steamed windows Outside where the world drowns in rain Bit by bit We discover the secret of happiness And peace As we fulfill the hunger within us I swear we are half way there to ending poverty We are overcome within ourselves We are not you and I But one I'm wearing your old sweater And we snuggle propped up against the wall Or each other Our arms wound around and palms pressed close, fingers knitted together Your fingers stroke my hair As we listen to the different heartbeats And voice our own dreams With words we build separate versions of an ideal world Cora you say How come we're here like this We're both so different And I reply that it doesn't matter We both have too much respect to let differences matter Respect for the right of others To reach for achieving a utopia without harming another being The secret is to never see yourself as superior And balance it with never seeing yourself as inferior It doesn't matter what the colour of your envelope is Or what factory you were made in Your brand is not the name of your religion or the soil you were born on The essence and material are the same I can feel your smile tickling against my forehead as you whisper I think I know what you mean Let me show you And a foreign sound reaches my ears It's a slow rhythmic tune With soft vocals I have no idea what the words mean And at that moment Not for the first time It crosses my mind That if everyone spoke the same language would we still be like this But it doesn't matter As I listen like a blind man with no sense of time I understand the song is about love And there's a touch of longing I can feel the melancholy in her voice And the nostalgic homesickness in his As the song plays on I imagine the two lovers were reunited I can feel the gratitude And relief I can see their future And its everything I've always dreamed of My kind of utopia
