Many years ago He looked out through a glassless window All that he could see was Babylon Beautiful green fields and dreams And learn to measure the stars But there was a worry in his heart
He said How could it come to this? I’m really worried about living How could it come to this? Yeah, I really wanna know about this
Is it like today? Uh, uh-uh
Then there came a day Moved out ‘cross the Mediterranean Came to rest on isles and the Greek young men And with their silver beards they laughed At the unknown of the universe They could just sit and guess God’s name
But they said How could it come to this? We’re really worried about living How could it come to this? Yeah, we really want to know about this
Is it like today? Oh, oh-oh
Then there followed days of kings Empires and revolution Blood just looks the same When you open the veins But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone But the furrowed brow has never left his face
He said How could it come to this? We’re really living in a landslide How could it come to this? Yeah we really wanna know about this
Is it like today? Oh, oh-oh
Then there came a day Man packed up, flew off from the planet He went to the moon (to the moon) To the moon (to the moon) Now he’s out in space, hey, fixing all the problems He comes face to face with God
He says How could it come to this I’m really worried ’bout my creation How did it come to this You’re really killing me you know
It isn’t just today Oh, oh-oh Is it like today? Eh? Ah Is it like today? Oh, bang Ooh
Many years ago He looked out through a glassless window Didn’t understand much what he saw
Talk about biting the hand that feeds Sitting there watching as it bleeds Try your best in the winter light When it really should be summer night
Is it too late, baby? Too late now Too late, baby? Too late now Too late for you to realize Everything could have been alright
Is it been to long? Yeah Is it too long now Is it too long for you to make the change? Gotta love yourself to make a better day
I hate the way you don’t want to move What’s the matter? Money rules the groove now What we’re doing here today Won’t make the bad life go away
You gotta grow the beard Find the doubt And maybe you’ll work Something out, hey
Is it too long baby? Too long now yeah Too long for you to make the change You got to love yourself To make a better day, better day
Look out
And recognize your soul And everything’s alright You gotta see the whole And everything’s alright
Come on give yourself a break Everything’s alright We’ll be breathing deep And everything’s alright
Well, come on come on come on Everything’s alright
In a dream I was crossing African plains And elephant’s graveyard, a bone dry place And I was wondering why there was no more rain And in a pile of bones, I saw your face
Time it’s time to live Time it’s time to live through the pain
Time it’s time to live, now that it’s all over Time it’s time to live Time it’s time to live through the pain Now that it’s over, now that it’s over
Kissing a gray garden
Shadow and shade Sunlight treads softly
As bad as bad becomes It’s not a part of you
Contempt is ever breeding Trapped in itself Time it’s time to live Time it’s time to live through the pain Time it’s time to live, now that it’s all over Time it’s time to live Time it’s time to live through the pain Now that it’s over, now that it’s over, now that it’s over
As bad as bad becomes It’s not a part of you
The wicked and the weeping Ramble or run Time it’s time to live Time it’s time to live for living Time it’s time to live, now that it’s all over Time it’s time to live Time it’s time to live for living Time it’s time to live, now that it’s all over Now that it’s over, now that it’s over
I can see night in the day time Into the woods I quietly go It takes all the strength I have in me These are the woods The night of the soul Painful to see Love without action Painful to see years of neglect Achin’ to see all that they see Still telling lies to the remains of respect Creatures we are worth defending It takes the right word said from the heart Given to you without ending Given to you, the purpose of art Thousands of plans, I’ve made many I wonder just how many plans I have made Feelin’ this mood overtake me Finally to see the truth as it fades Out of these woods will you take me Out of these woods, out of the strom Sinless child can you save me Guilty man, freedom is yours
Here’s to the babies of a brand new world Here’s to the beauty of the stars Here’s to the travellers on the open road Here’s to the dreamers in the bars Here’s to the teachers in the crowded rooms Here’s to the workers in the fields Here’s to the preachers of the sacred word Here’s to the drivers at the wheel Here’s to you my little love With blessings from above Now let the day begin Here’s to you my little love With blessings from above Now let the day begin Let the day begin Here’s to the winners of the human race Here’s to the losers in the game Here’s to the soldiers of the bitter war Here’s to the wall that bears their name Here’s to you my little love With blessings from above Now let the day begin Here’s to you my little love With blessings from above Now let the day begin Let the day begin Let the day begin Let the day… start Here’s to the doctors and their healing work Here’s to the loved ones in their care Here’s to the strangers on the streets tonight Here’s to the lonely everywhere Here’s to the wisdom from the mouths of babes Here’s to the lions in the cage Here’s to the strugglers of the silent war Here’s to the closing of the age Here’s to you my little love With blessings from above Now let the day begin Oh! Here’s to you my little loves With blessings from above Now let the day begin Here’s to you my little loves With blessings from above Now let the day begin Here’s to you my little loves With blessings from above Now let the day begin Let the day begin Let the day… start
