M People - Fantasy Island lyrics

Written by - Mike Pickering, Paul Heard, Heather Small

Gather round people I just dreamt of this song

about all the World gettin' along.

Human rights, no shallow graves

politician's speak the truth, no one's got Aids.

I look at a Muslim embracing a Jew

everyone's eating everyone's food.

Free from diseases, ain't no Third World

love is the message, love is the word.

[Chorus] [x2]

This is my island (island),

my fantasy (my fantasy),

my fantasy (fantasy).

There's a welcome mat at the centre of the earth.

No sign of hate, a four-letter word.

The children are playing in air you can breathe

people got dreams, people achieve.

Everywhere's music, sunshine and laughter

we still feel the same the morning after

words in the air, love in the heart.

This is my dream, a brand new start

[Chorus] [x2]

(This is my fantasy) [x8]

Believe in me baby.

[Chorus 2] [x2]

Say what have we got

we got the power (we got the power).

Got sixty seconds, got every hour (every hour).

Say what have we got

we got the power (we got the power).

We are the spark to light the fire (light the fire).

Got one blood, got one skin

got one soul deep within.

Got a heart beating fast

got a dream got no past.

Say what have we got.

This is my, this is my, this is my fantasy. [x2]

[Chorus] [x2]

(This is my fantasy) [x8]
