Stars of Old - Dreamland Utopia

We took a U-turn down on 42nd street Almost hit another car Spilled my coffee on my jeans and I said: Oh, they're ruined now She said: No, they're better now, it's just a matter of perspective She kissed my cheek It's the little imperfections that make'em unique I don't know how she does it, but she can See the stars in the city She sees a diamond when the world sees dust Finds the glitter in the gritty I know I ain't much but That girl sees something nobody else can see When she sees something in me Yeah, she can see the stars in the city The more I hang with her the more I realise Their can be beauty in the broken if you open up your mind She says thinks like: Ain't this rain nice And: Don't sad songs make you smile Well if she's crazy I wanna be crazy too She's the kinda girl that can break up a band I wanna see the way that she can See the stars in the city She sees a diamond when the world sees dust Finds the glitter in the gritty I know I ain't much but That girl sees something nobody else can see Maybe she sees something in me Yeah, she can see the stars in the city That girl sees something nobody else can see Maybe she sees something in me Yeah, she can see the stars in the city In the city She can see the stars in the city She sees a diamond when the world sees dust Finds the glitter in the gritty So pretty she can break you heart Yeah, she sees the stars in the city In the city She sees the stars in the city Oh yeah

The longer we hide our faces from the sun, the less we will learn Hiding in the comfort of belief, we turn toward the endless night And what if it were true? If we were placed here for a reason Parasites draining the earth Living in fear Floating through your body Always regenerating wonders anew Behold interconnectedness Rise for your ancestor stars As children of space With stardust in our veins We will give in to know the truth We are the remnants of stars The stars will shine Answers fall over you A heavy rain of the mind Shed all you know and make way for a galaxy of light Answers found hidden inside the smallest stone Bringing forth a new way of life Open your heart to the sky Reaching for the light now It is our way of life now Impulses In your brain to run toward the truth of your creation As children of space With stardust in our veins We will give in to know the truth We are the remnants of stars The transience of our lives Met with wonder and appreciation No progress will be made Until we rewire our brains Floating through your body Always regenerating wonders anew Behold interconnectedness Rise for your ancestor stars As children of space With stardust in our veins We will give in to know the truth We are the remnants of stars (Light is our way of life now) Answers found hidden inside the smallest stone (? to the truth) To reach for the light

We'd gather around All in a room Fasten our belts Engage in dialogue We'd all slow down Rest without guilt Not lie without fear Disagree sans judgement We would stay and respond And expand and include And allow and forgive And enjoy and evolve And discern and inquire And accept and admit And divulge and open And reach out and speak up This is utopia This is my utopia This is my ideal My end in sight Utopia This is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate We'd open our arms We'd all jump in We'd all coast down Into safety nets We would share and listen And support and welcome Be propelled by passion Not invest in outcomes We would breathe and be charmed And amused by difference Be gentle and make room For every emotion This is utopia This is my utopia This is my ideal My end in sight Utopia This is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate We'd provide forums We'd all speak out We'd all be heard We'd all feel seen We'd rise post-obstacle More defined, more grateful We would heal, be humbled And be unstoppable We'd hold close and let go And know when to do which We'd release and disarm And stand up and feel safe This is utopia This is my utopia This is my ideal My end in sight Utopia This is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate
