| And the fishermen came back across the water
|
| And the people started running in the park
|
| And the city stopped as I held you in my arms
|
| We could hear the sound of sirens all around us
|
| And the scent of burning oil was in the air
|
| And the music played and it felt so good to hear
|
| This is the life we’ve been given
|
| So open your mind and start living
|
| We can play our part if we only start believing
|
| There’s a stranger on the hill and he is speaking
|
| As the tears from every cloud begin to fall
|
| For one moment then we understood it all
|
| Everyone, everyone, can you hear the soldiers coming
|
| Everyone, everyone, every man and every woman
|
| We all fall, in the end, we’re just miracles of matter
|
| So come on
|
| Let me love you
|
| This is the life we’ve been given
|
| So open your mind and start living
|
| We can play our part if we only start believing
|
| This is the life we’ve been given
|
| So open your heart and start loving
|
| We can make a start if we only learn to listen, yeah
|
| Then the crowd began to head for the horizon
|
| A million people walking back to work
|
| But you and me, we just lay down in the garden
|
| Yeah you and me, we just lay down in the garden
|
| This is the life we’ve been given
|
| So open your mind to start living
|
| We can play our part if we only start believing
|
| This is the life we’ve been given
|
| So open your heart and start loving
|
| We can make a start if we only learn to listen, yeah
|
| You and me, we just lay down in the garden
|
| Yeah, the garden |
