While sharing a common vision of the kingdom of God on earth, as Baha'is each of us has an individual utopia of its unity in diversity.

My Utopia
Music by Pekka Okkonen
Lyrics by Harri Peltola

Having seen the new light but living in the shadow
I hope for something more than a promise of a rainbow
People are frightened in our brave new world
I’m looking for some action, not just play with words

Supermen are gambling, bidding on our future
Mind-control, liberation - mankind ‘s the loser
The message is seen clearly but it is rendered in error
Politicians proclaim a balance of terror

And I still have a dream, my utopia of peace and justice
I’m building it with you and people of all nations
There will be room enough for the left as well as right
And we shall be known as the people of the light

Children of the South are starving of hunger
Third World resources exploited by the stronger
Hence the extra surplus, wasted on destruction
Nuclear arms preferred to economic reconstruction

Supermen are gambling, bidding on our future
Ecology, starwars - mankind ‘s the loser
The message is seen clearly but it is rendered in error
Big business thrives on worldwide terror

And I still have a dream, my utopia of peace and justice
I’m building it with you and people of all races
There will be room enough for blacks as well as whites
And we shall be known as the people of the light
Guitar Solo by Pekka Okkonen

And I still have a dream, my utopia of peace and justice
I’m building it with you and people of all views
There will be room enough for orthodox and zen
And we shall be known as world citizens

There will be room enough for orthodox and zen
And we shall be known as world citizens
