| High on the bell tower
|
| I took my view
|
| Over the downtowns
|
| And the avenues
|
| Where the streets are wide
|
| And the people thrive
|
| And its further to fall down
|
| Cause you fly so high
|
| I’ve never seen such beauty
|
| I’ve never seen such clear skies
|
| I’ve never seen such high hopes
|
| I’ve never seen such tired eyes
|
| And I wish that I could be
|
| Everything you are
|
| Everything you are
|
| Down in the delta
|
| The city wakes
|
| Turns on the TV
|
| As the levy breaks
|
| Where the streets are burned
|
| Hot summer sun
|
| And there’s nowhere to run to
|
| When your time has come
|
| I’ve never seen such beauty
|
| I’ve never seen such clear skies
|
| I’ve never seen such high hopes
|
| I’ve never seen such tired eyes
|
| Pull the roots up piece by piece
|
| Love lives watching over me
|
| Take my pills and went to sleep
|
| Oh, and I sang myself to sleep
|
| And I wish that I could be
|
| Everything you are
|
| Everything you are
|
| And I wish that I could see
|
| The world the way you do
|
| As selfishly as you
|
| And I wish that I could be
|
| Everything you are
|
| Everything you are
|
| And I wish that I could stick
|
| My faith the way you do
|
| As certainly as you
|
| The sky is going to fall on you
|
| The sky is going to fall on you
|
| The sky is going to fall on you
|
| On you, on you
|
| The sky is going to fall on you
|
| The sky |
