Candyland


Candyland A world with... Pink sweet gumdrops Cupcakes with icing on top The sound of my bubblegum pops Breaking the sweet silence Do you hear the harmony Candyland Opposite of the world we live in No worries No mistakes so there's no sorries No frowns upon face No eyes But cake and pie is still good if you can taste it Hmm...the sweet taste of peace my favorite Small or tall we unite as all And people get along with other races Everything is a rainbow So it doesn't matter which way gay or straight they go No critics Candyland might be a dream But it’s realistic if you feel it, So hear it Let my words sink deep into your soul Because discrimination and corruption is what we know But peace and unity is the goal Pink sweet gumdrops Big swirling lollipops The taste of wanting to indulge in a better life ….Yum candy I speak the words of the people, the future of this country I am your sequel don't ban me Looking for the Candyland taste This country's intelligence should not go to a waste I sat down but I speak now Because discrimination has put a frown on your face They abolished slavery and segregation But I still see the whispers of the continuation of the silent separation Candyland I saw it in a dream like King Let's live in peace I say Effective change comes today Let's do away with the hectic world we live in I thought violence and bullying had been put to an end The more we lose sight of the path that we should follow the more we lose sight of tomorrow Following the bad high class standards of society role models And here begins discrimination We prove those right who have mocked our nation I thought we were united But we’re just a bunch of states That hold the shackles of the past and it weighs All we have is now I speak again For now This is candyland's beginning to discrimination's end
