In the land of lilacs and butterflies

There is not a cloud in the beautiful blue skies

Everyday worries are taken away

Everyone lives for today

There is no black or white

The full bloom of colour’s delight

Being you is a pleasure

People are happy to see how you are

And support you to go far

There is no anger in this land

Only a loving hand

No politics or race wars here

The look of a person is not what we fear

It is just a peaceful place

Where tenderness fills the space

A place where your heart files

In the land of lilacs and butterflies
