The day is bright and clear The sweet melody's of music fills the air Everywhere you see children laughing, children playing
All is well and all is good everyones living the way as they all should The adults are joyful, mature and intelligent They have hearts of gold and their lives are not wretched
But how unfortunate for a child to suffer for the guarantee of everyones happiness locked away in a cage underneath the city living in total misery They've all based their lives on the harsh reality of justice
For the possible happiness of the degraded child would be possible not probable to be set against the sure happiness of the many
Those who's eyes that have gazed upon the child are the ones who walked away from Omelas
