I'm walking round the ancient quarters
Their owners left them long ago
Maybe time forgot those houses
Rushing where it had to go
Once somebody chanced to tell me
What they knew of life and d**h
About the way things keep on changing
And how to hear our hidden breath
Stand up for nothing less and nothing more
Than love, for love is our heartbeat
And the dearest thing we have
Stand up for nothing less and nothing more
Than love, for love is our heartbeat
And the dearest thing we have
I'm walking through the living history
On a shining summer day
What blooms and fades...tells a story:
Tales of slendour and decay
Dusty pearls from another time
Juwels form forgotten days
Stones and walls that confite in me
Secrets of the human race
Stand up for nothing less and nothing more
Than love, for love is our heartbeat
And the dearest thing we have
