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
