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 a part
if we only start believing
There's a stranger
on the hill and he is speaking
As the tear 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 women
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 a 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
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 and start living
We can play a 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
You and me we just lay down
in the garden
Yeah the garden
