[Intro: Choir]
Laudate omnes gentes laudate
Magnificat in secula
Et anima mea laudate
Magnificat in secula
[Chorus]
Happy nation living in a happy nation
Where the people understand
And dream of the perfect man
Situation lead to sweet salvation
For the people, for the good
For mankind brotherhood
(We’re traveling in time)
[Verse 1]
Ideas by man and only that will last
And over time we’ve learned from the past
That no man’s fit to rule the world alone
A man will die but not his ideas
[Chorus]
Happy nation living in a happy nation
Where the people understand
And dream of the perfect man
Situation lead to sweet salvation
For the people, for the good
For mankind brotherhood
(We’re traveling in time)
[Verse 2]
(Traveling in time)
Tell them we’ve gone too far
Tell them we’ve gone too far
(Happy nation)
Come through and I will dance with you
(Happy nation)
Tell them we’ve gone too far
(Happy nation)
Come through and I will dance with you
(Happy nation)
Tell them we’ve gone too far
Come through and I will dance with you
[Chorus]
Happy nation living in a happy nation
Where the people understand
And dream of the perfect man
Situation lead to sweet salvation
For the people, for the good
For mankind brotherhood
