Song of Scatland Lyrics

By Scatman John 
Imagine a land of love     
Where people have time to care     
Where everybody's equal     
And we all tell the truth     

If you're wondering where this magical place is     
You don't have to look too far     
You'll find it between your deepest dreams and warmest wishes     
     
The society of Scatland is composed of     
Very loving caring people who have     
Never even heard of political corruption     
Class distinction, war and all the     
Other stuff that goes on in the world of earth people.     
Everyone is equal in Scatland.     
Everyone is equal. Everyone is equal.         

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be     
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.     
 
All people of Scatland are very childlike they have     
Had happy complete childhoods they were     
allowed to develop their imaginations to the fullest.     
There is only love and happiness in Scatland     
Hatred and resentment?     
Well that's unheard of. It's unheard of.     

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be     
That's all there's ever been - for you and me     

I wonder if you're wondering where Scatland is?     
It isn't far away. I'll take you there now.     
Just close your eyes, make a wish, give yourself a hug.     
You're half-way there, just love yourself - love yourself     
And a dream will come true. You'll find yourself in Scatland     
And suddenly discover that the person from Scatland is you.     
     
The people of Scatland speak in Scatish     
Scatish is a language not quite like a leprechaun     
It sounds like a language of the people of earth     
Who speak in a tongue of their own.     
You're all from Scatland. Hatred and resentment?     
Well that's unheard of. It's unheard of.     

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be     
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.     
We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be     
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.     
 
This is a brand new day know what I say,     
Love is understanding.     
Believe me believe me believe me.     

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be     
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.
