This was one of the first songs I would consider a "single", off the mix tape, Technophilia 1: exploring the realm. It was the first time the instrumentation and mixing really clicked, and everything finally sounded right (of course the recording sounds terrible to me now, but I still like the song). There's a cool piano break at the start of the last verse that leads back into the drum beat.

In a land of love I know there wouldn't be this kind of hurting There would be no war No battles fought without a cause for hate And the sun would shine Shine every day and there's no way that We would ever be sad In this land of love I wish we had today And in our minds And in our hearts peace flows just like a river Through valleys to the sea As rivers we would melt in harmony No more battles, no more strife No more dwelling on this troubled life The future's looking bright And someday we will be in a land of love So now it's time To face the truth and deal with what we've been dealt Standing side by side With nowhere left to run and nowhere to hide The walls are closing in We cling to one another in desperation Light shines from afar It calls to us but it's so far out of reach No more fighting Over what we have and what we cannot get So don't forget your dreams Open up your mind And free your body, take my hand we'll go To the land of love
