Utopia - Alanis Morissette

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
