Gerry Rafferty - Metanoia lyrics

I saw the light I changed my world I changed my heart We sing a song of repentance A song of joy We sing a song of repentance A song of joy My father's mansion has many rooms But we all live on the lowest floor Don't even know there is light above This understanding won't do no more We sing a song of repentance We sing a song of joy We sing a song of repentance We sing a song of joy I was sitting on a barbed wire fence Metanoia, it made no sense How many times I should have cried to you Now crying won't do no good We sing a song of repentance We sing a song of joy We sing a song of repentance We sing a song of joy I saw the river, I've seen the door I ruled the world, talked to the people They didn't understand They went walking, yeah they went walking I saw (I saw the river) the light I've seen the door I changed (I ruled the world) my world Talked to the people I changed (they didn't understand) my heart They went walking, yeah they went walking Metanoia Metanoia Civilisations they come and go From ancient Greece down to Mexico The truth gets lost along the way We're still dragging our feet in clay We sing a song of repentance We sing a song of joy We sing a song of repentance We sing a song of joy Metanoia (metanoia)
