Introduction/Lost Horizon
sung by Shawn Phillips

Lyrics SCI Points
Have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all?
Where the air you breathe is soft and clean,
and children play in fields of green,
and the sound of guns
doesn't pound in your ears.
Fairfield Iowa is near the population center of the USA
Far away a from the stress of cities.
The air is much more pure
There are many fair fields
No loud noises or wars
Have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all?
Where the winter winds will rarely blow,
and living things have room to grow,
and the sound of children
who laugh as they walk off to school
Well, the winter winds do blow, but only for a few months
There is plenty of room for expansion
Maharishi School for Children is winning awards for its educational innovations, making learning fun, by adding the TM technique.
Many miles from yesterday,
before you reach tomorrow,
where the time is always just today,
Fairfield is many miles from big city cares
People live in the here and now.
There's a Lost Horizon,
waiting to be found.
What we put our attention on tends to come to be.
There's a Lost Horizon
where you find your self
living safely and happy at home.
Through the TM technique, we experience the Self of all beings
which promotes living in accord with nature, and happiness.
LOST HORIZON
