Sweet fandango

I drove out at night
and I looked at the sky
it looked like a mountain-range
and all my life felt changed

If we had mountains and hills
and we had climbing skills
we'd be fond of far horizons
and we'd let bygones be bygones

      This is a land we didn't know
      a new reality on show
      you can be free
      I can be me
      mountain tango
      sweet fandango

We could have a better time
we could write superior rhymes
if our landscape wasn't flat
and our minds were not like that

going up and going down
from high village to low town
we might like the world much better
free from nationalism's fetters
