The never ending happening
Of what's to be and what has been
Just to be a part of it
Is astonishing to me
The never ending happening
Of waves crashing against the cliffs
The falling seed the wind carries
The never ending happening
Souls arriving constantly
From the shores of eternity
Birds and bees and butterflies
Parade before my eyes
The never ending happening
Of the four winds changing direction
Nightfall stars sun rise again
Birdsong before the day begins
For some it's like tight-rope walkin'
Blindfolded and shaking
On either side fear and pain
For some it's like tight-rope walking
The never ending happening
Of war evermore and sore famine
Yearning for the day to be
When god will roll his stone away
The never ending happening
Of what 's to be and what has been
Just to be a part of it
Is astonishing to me
I'm a street sweeper in your city of dreams
Yeah, I'm a street sweeper in your city of dreams
Sweepin up the paper cups between the limousines
Street sweeper in your city of dreams
Thousands of windows, I'm scared of what I see
Thousands of windows, I'm so scared of what I see
People wired up to telephones, plugged into TV screens
Thousands of windows, I'm so scared of what I see
Lookin at the sky above, higher than these neon names
I'm lookin at the sky above, higher than these neon names
You can't buy and sell the clouds, they aint among the commodities we trade
Lookin at the sky above, higher than these neon names
I'm waitin for the city of God
Yeah, I'm waitin for the city of God
When what is will be what was
Waitin for the city of God
I'm a street sweeper in your city of dreams
Yeah, I'm a street sweeper in your city of dreams
Sweepin up the paper cups between the limousines
Street sweeper in your city of dreams
City of dreams
(At the end of the day
Aint nobody else
Gonna walk in your shoes
Quite the way that you do
So be at Peace with yourself
Keep a spring in your heel
Keep climbing that hill
And be at Peace with yourself)

There are miracles,@Eleder_BuM
In the strangest of places
There are miracles,
Everywhere you go
I see fathers,
Hold a little child's hand
I see mothers,
Holding a little child's hand
I see trees, trees,
Blowing in the wind
I see seeds,
Being sown by the wind
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
I see grandmas,
Blowing kisses into a pram
I see grandpas,
Scratching their head in amazement
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
Like my old dad said,
Life is people, life is people
In the space of a human face,
There's infinite variation
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
Like my old dad said,
Life is people, life is people
In the space of a human face,
There's infinite variation
Life is people, life is people, life is people
Life is people, life is people, life is people
Life is people
