The Garden

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 our part if we only start believing

Yeah

There's a stranger on the hill and he is speaking

As the tears from every cloud begins to fall

For one moment then we understood it all

Everyone, everyone, can you hear the soldiers coming

Everyone, everyone, every man and every woman

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 our part if we only start believing

Oh

Yeah, this is the life we've been given

So open your heart and start living

We can make a start if we only learn to listen

Yeah

Then the crowd began to head for the horizon

A million people walking back to work

But you and me, we just laid down in the garden

Yeah you and me, we just laid down in the garden

'Cause this is the life we've been given

So open your mind and start living

We can play our part if we only start believing

Oh

Yeah 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

Yeah

Oh yeah, you and me

We just laid down in the garden

Yeah, the garden
