Where the boys and girls like to dance on the way to school,
And even the pretty girls think that being nice is cool.
Ain't no locks upon the door, ain't no country fighting no war,
Ain't no boss or president here, and no judge to keep score.

No one ever has to raise a hand in a wonder,
In a wonderland.
And compassion is something people understand in a wonder,
In a wonderland.

Where there ain't no government telling you who to fight,
And you don't get singled out every time your wrong or right.
Ain't no hungry people to feed, ain't no homeless children in need.
Ain't no prejudice in anyone's heart, and no crime in the streets.

No one ever has to raise a hand in a wonder,
In a wonderland.
And compassion is something people understand in a wonder,
In a wonderland.
In a wonder, in a wonderland.

Where there ain't no fairytale Hollywood,
People messing with your head.
You never got to hurt anybody, or yourself to get ahead.

No one ever has to raise a hand in a wonder,
In a wonderland.
And compassion is something people understand in a wonder,
In a wonderland.
In a wonder, in a wonderland.
Little girl, in a wonderland.

In a wonderland.

It's a beautiful place to live your life,
It's a beautiful place to call your home.
Ain't no government telling you who to fight,
Yes, in a wonderland.
