[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm C
We'd gather around all in a room
Bb Am Bb
Fasten our belts, engage in dialogue
C Dm C
We'd all slow down, rest without guilt
Bb Am Bb C
Not lie without fear, disagree sans jugement
Dm
We would stay and respond and expand and include
C
And allow and forgive and enjoy and evolve
Dm
And discern and inquire and accept and admit
C
And divulge and open and reach out and speak up
[Chorus]
F C
This is utopia, this is my utopia
F C
This is my ideal, my end in sight
F C
Utopia, this is my utopia
F C
This is my nirvana, my ultimate
[Verse 2]
Dm C
We'd open our arms, we'd all jump in
Bb Am Bb C
We'd all coast down into safety nets
Dm
We would share and listen and support and welcome
C
Be propelled by passion, not invest in outcomes
Dm
We would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
C
Be gentle and make room for every emotion
[Chorus]
F C
This is utopia, this is my utopia
F C
This is my ideal, my end in sight
F C
Utopia, this is my utopia
F C
This is my nirvana, my ultimate
[Verse 3]
Dm C
We'd provide forums, we'd all speak out
Bb Am Bb C
We'd all be heard, we'd all feel seen
Dm
We'd rise post-obstacle more defined, more grateful
C
We would heal, be humbled and be unstoppable
Dm
We'd hold close and let go and know when to do which
C
We'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
[Chorus]
F C
This is utopia, this is my utopia
F C
This is my ideal, my end in sight
F C
Utopia, this is my utopia
F C
This is my nirvana, my ultimate
[Outro]
F C x6
