[Verse 1]
Misery fell on the town when they lost all their looks
Spent all those years with their jobs and their scholarly books
With no one to share all their thoughts and their worldly-to-bes, oh no
They got down and prayed a little more for a life that was free

[Verse 2]
Wanting a change, they assessed how reform comes around
A wise man suggested they work in their smiles not their frowns
And all of a sudden it sounds like the town was to be, oh yes
A happier place where they live out their personal dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
La la-la la-la
La la-la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la la-la

[Chorus]
Why, oh, why this
Town without love too much faith in above?
Can you feel the
Force that it brings not to worry 'bout things?
Just the stars in the sky all enjoying their time
With a hope for peace
