Something Better

People run like tired lemmings headed for the sea

Borders of imagination keeping them from seeing things

Ancient guards in greying fortresses of old ideas

Standing guard on treasure that has long since

Disappeared from use



Oh we have got to find something better

Oh people we got to find something better



People run like tired lemmings they don't see the sun

Shadow pictures drive them on and keep them on the run

Knights in blazing armour stand upon a nearby hill

Shafts of gleaming light held high and no one sees them

Still



Oh we have got to find something better

Oh people we got to find something better



Long ago and far away the words ring like a bell

Stories poems books and songs have used these words and

Use them still

Long ago and far away is where most of us dwell

Time has chased us all away and left today under it's

Spell



Oh we have got to find something better

Oh people we got to find something better
