you've come a long way



you've come a long way
you've seen violet shores
you've seen the green trees & the wilderness & the great stretching mountains
you've been to the ends of the earth but
let me show you something you ain't NEVER SEEN

you've come a long way baby
you've seen the streets & the violence
you've seen the wars & the rape & the pillaging
you've seen the joy
you've seen the peace of a summer's eve

c o m p l e t e l y q u i e t

as you raise your head & throw off the shackles of sleep
now let me show you something
you ain't NEVER SEEN
you've come a long way, baby
