To some people a beachfront view is paradise
To others it’s not even noticed by their eyes
Some are aligned, they stop seeking outside
At peace with the present, resting inside
Others got homes right in front of the sea
Enough money to pay for security
And others are struggling, homeless, no food
No friends, no hope, just trying to move
Pre-Chorus
Different conditions, same human face
Different positions, same time and space
Chorus
So I say to the three of them, come together now
To the rich, to the present, to the lost somehow
Nothing compares to a childlike smile
A natural giggle, free for a while
Nothing compares to the first time sight
Seeing everything new, everything light
I pray one day these views fall away
And we all come back to play
In the playground of life
Verse 2
Being poor, being spiritual, being rich
All of it formed by a social script
A product of systems, stories we’re told
Labels dividing young and old
But none of that matches the innocence
First laugh, first breath, first presence
No past, no fear, no heavy mind
Just wonder before we learned time
Pre-Chorus
Before the chase, before the fight
We were laughing in the same sunlight
Chorus
So I say to the three of them, come together now
To the rich, to the present, to the lost somehow
Nothing compares to a childlike smile
A natural giggle, free for a while
Nothing compares to the first time sight
Seeing everything new, everything light
I pray one day these views fall away
And we all come back to play
In the playground of life
Come back to play, come back to truth
Come back together, old and youth
Happy and peaceful, no disguise
Free in the playground of life
Come back to play…
Playground of life…
Come back to play
Come back to play
Come back to truth
Come back to truth
One heart now
One heart now
One life
One life
Playground of life
Playground of life
Happy and free
Happy and free
No rich, no poor
No less, no more
Just human beings
On the same floor
