ONE DAY I WILL BE
|
BACK IN OUR OLD STREET
|
SAFE FROM THE NOISE THAT'S
|
FALLING AROUND ME
|
|
AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE
|
WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN
|
AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY
|
AND THERE WILL BE NO SOUND
|
|
OPEN THE BARS AND
|
OPEN THE MARKETS
|
OPEN THE BANKS AND
|
OPEN THE CHURCHES
|
|
AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE
|
|
WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN
|
AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY
|
AND THERE WILL BE NO SOUND
|
|
WE'VE BEEN COWERING SO LONG
|
OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE
|
I ASK SO LITTLE
|
BUT OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE
|
TO STAND AT THE BUS STOP
|
OR BROWSE IN A BOOKSHOP
|
TO SLEEP AND ALWAYS BE STILL
|
|
AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE
|
WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN
|
AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY
|
AND I WILL BE SET FREE FROM THE PEOPLE
|
WHO ARE TRYING TO BURY ME
|
AND THEN ONLY FIREWORKS WILL LIGHT THE SKY AT NIGHT
|
FOR ALL THE WORLD CAN SEE
|
