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 tears from every cloud
began 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 endwe'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 ooh
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 ooh
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
