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 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
