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 there will be no sound 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
