 Intro

Verse

 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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

 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

Bridge

 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

CHORUS AS BEFORE

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

Chorus

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

Verse

 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

Chorus

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

ENDING

You and me, we just lay down in the garden

 Yeah, the garden
