lyrics

La la, la la la
Back when everything was good
Back when everything was good
When we tumbled and we played
Slumbered in the shade and everything was good
At the rising of the sun
Back when everything was one
And we were lovely, we were la la la la la…

The days and the grass were green and endless
Back when everything was good
We rolled down the hills and laughed ourselves senseless
Back when everything was good.
Nothing was harsh
Nothing was bad
There was no danger, so sinsick sadness
All that we needed was all that we had
Back when everything was good.

We were hungry, we would eat
We were sleepy, we would sleep
Every creature was a friend
Nothing to defend and everything was good
In the softness of the breeze
And the lushness of the trees
And we were lovely, we were la la la la la…

We gave loving names to all that were nameless
Back when everything was good
Surrounded by grace we were perfectly blameless
Back when everything was good
Nothing to judge
Bodies were bare
There were no edges, but clean awareness
All that we wanted was all that we dared
Back when everything was good

In our world, in our dreams
We knew nothing would ever change

Back when everything was free
There was every kind of tree
There was one that was so tall
and it was lovely, it was la la la la la…
We reached out our hands, la la
And received what we asked, la la
Nothing was wrong, nothing untrue
Believing in You then was just so easy,
All that we needed was all that we knew
Back when everything was good.
Laissez-faire, devil-may-care
Back when everything was good.
