lyrics

Beyond Civilization
(M. Merenda)

I had a dream that I was flying above a penitentiary
Me and my friends risin’ up above it and we were free
I woke up I was mistaken, I was choking on my frustration
Was tryin’ to get back to that destination beyond civilization.

I woke up I ate my breakfast, couldn’t think of what to do next
I sat there in contemplation trying to wrap my brain around all this desecration
And just when my hope was gone I looked out on the lawn
Saw the birds takin’ off in formation they were beyond civilization.

Then I dreamed that I was gone but I wasn’t really gone
I was just down there in the soil with all my grandkids tramplin’ on.
There was laughin’ and singin’, there was joy and elation
And I believe that they made it beyond civilization

I had a dream that I was flying above a penitentiary
Me and my friends risin’ up above it and we were free
