I'm going to paint a perfect picture,
A world of makebelieve,
No more hunger, war or suffering,
The world I'd like to see

The blackbird sings in the hedgerow
The white owl sleeps in the barn
The brown geese fly, a group in the sky
The yellow chick pecks the corn

I'm going to paint a perfect picture,
A world of makebelieve,
No more hunger, war or suffering,
The world I'd like to see

The stream runs clear through the meadow
The wheat ears swell with the grain,
The oak trees give them shelter and shade
The sunlight bursts through the rain

I'm going to paint a perfect picture,
A world of makebelieve,
No more hunger, war or suffering,
The world I'd like to see

The farmers gather the harvest
The children play by the mill
The cattle chew and flick up their tails
The ponies graze on the hill

I'm going to paint a perfect picture,
A world of makebelieve,
No more hunger, war or suffering,
The world I'd like to see
