What we like

• The sounds created by Earth Wind and Fire with their elaborate arrangement of sounds through the instrumentals and vocals with the meaning makes this song dynamite

Soul experience

• What is this fantasy?  Is it a place that we can escape to?  Is this the place that we can share where we may live as one?   Have you experienced glimpses of this place, perhaps in a moment in time or with people you know or even just met?  Was this a fantasy?

To reflect on

• Our voices will ring together
  Until the twelfth of never
  We all will live love forever, as one
• Come to see victory
  In a land called fantasy
  Loving life, a new degree
  Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
