Lyrics
when i wake up in that beautiful city in the dawn of a beautiful day
we will walk among the shining buildings, empty streets will guide our way
all the parted will be reunited, all the weary ones will sleep
we will drink from a crystal fountain flowing at the far end of the street
when I wake up in that beautiful city I'll be in my old neighbourhood
and all the neighbours will be rewriting history to make it turn out good
all the houses in the beautiful city will be warm and have room for everyone
we will walk along strong bridges in the beautiful city, and gather who we find
and take them home
where no birds sing, there will be song
where walls are broken, they will be strong
where there is sickness, they will be sound
where love is lost it will be found
when I wake up in that beautiful city in the dawn of a beautiful day
we will walk among the shining buildings, empty streets will guide our way
all the parted will be reunited, no more the wanderer will roam
we will wander through the alleys of the beautiful city and gather who we find
and take them home
