    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Loved You All Along

    by: Von Ra

    Imagine the world with no borders
    No boundaries to fight about
    Imagine the peace and love
    And no need for the doubt
    Think of a world with no leader
    No rats to run the race
    And every single loved one
    Has a single face
    A vision of the light above me
    Shining into the corners
    Feeling of joy, for the terminal mourners
    A voice, on the speaker
    Hums a mellow song
    And together we're the ones
    Who've loved you all along
    Loved you all along
    Now the place of which I'm speaking
    Has yet to arrive
    But I hope to see this place
    While I'm still alive
    The thoughtless of today
    Have yet to feel the urge
    Yet the day will come
    When our minds and our souls will merge
