And the fisher-men 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 sounds 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 livin'
We can play our part if we only start believing
yeah.
There's a stranger on the hill and he is speaking
As the tears from every cloud begins to fall
For one moment then we understood it all
Everyone, Everyone
Can you hear the soldiers coming
And 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 livin'
We can play our part if we only start believing
Ohhh.
yeah, this is the life we've been given
So open your heart and start lovin'
We can make our 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 layed down in the garden.
Yeah you and me
we just layed down in the garden
Cause this is the life we've been given
So open your mind and start livin'
We can play our part if we only start believing
Ohhh.
yeah, this is the life we've been given
So open your heart and start lovin'
We can make our start if we only learn to listen
Yeah
Ohhhhh, ohhhh
You and me,
We just layed down in the garden
Yeah, the garden.
