High on the bell tower I took my view Over the downtowns On the avenues
Where the streets are wide And the people thrive And its further to fall down Cause you fly so high
I've never seen such a beauty I've never seen such clear skies I've never seen such high hopes I've never seen such tired eyes
And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are
Down in the delta The city wakes Turns on the TV As the levee breaks
Where the streets are burned From the summer sun And there's nowhere to run to When your time has come
I've never seen such a beauty I've never seen such clear skies I've never seen such high hopes I've never seen such tired eyes
Open wounds of piece by piece All those flesh all over me Take my pills and went to sleep Oh, and I sang myself to sleep
And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are And I wish that I could see The world the way you do As selfishly as you
Oooh
And I wish that I could be Everything you are Everything you are And I wish that I could stick My faith the way you do As certainly as you
The sky is going to fall on you The sky is going to fall on you The sky is going to fall on you On you, on you. The sky is going to fall on you The sky.
