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 the perfect man
a situation leading to sweet salvation
for the people for the good
for mankind brotherhood
we're travelling in time
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
we're travelling in time
travelling in time
tell them we've gone too far
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
