Utopia
BEDROOM - Alanis Morissette Lyrics

We'd gather around
We would come together

All in a room
In one space

Fasten our belts
Prepare ourselves

Engage in dialogue
Have conversations

We'd all slow down
We would take our time

Rest without guilt
Relax without feeling bad

Not lie without fear
Speak truthfully without being afraid

Disagree sans judgement
Differ without criticism

We would stay and respond
We would remain present and answer

And expand and include and allow and forgive
We would grow and accept and permit and pardon

And enjoy and evolve and discern
And appreciate and develop and recognize

And inquire and accept and admit
And question and receive and confess

And divulge and open and reach out and speak up
And reveal and unlock and connect and express

We'd open our arms
We would welcome

We'd all jump in
We would all participate

We'd all coast down into safety nets
We would all descend safely

We would share and listen and support and welcome
We would give and hear and assist and embrace

Be propelled by passion, not invest in outcomes
Be moved by enthusiasm, not focus on results

We would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
We would breathe and be fascinated and entertained by diversity

Be gentle and make room for every emotion
Be kind and create space for all feelings

We'd provide forums
We would offer platforms

We'd all speak out
We would all express ourselves

We'd all be heard
We would all be listened to

We'd all feel seen
We would all feel acknowledged

We'd rise post-obstacle, more defined, more grateful
We would overcome challenges and become stronger, more appreciative

We would heal, be humbled and be unstoppable
We would recover, be modest, and be relentless

We'd hold close and let go and know when to do which
We would embrace and release and understand when to do each

We'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
We would let go and disarm and stand up and feel secure
