Mark Nightingale - The Garden lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark] And the fishermen came back across the water And the people started running in the park And the city stopped as I held you in my arms We could hear the sound of sirens all around us And the scent of burning oil was in the air And the music played and it felt so good to hear [Chorus 1: Gary] This is the life we've been given So open your mind and start living We can play a part if we only start believing [Verse 2: Jason] There's a stranger on the hill and he is speaking As the tears from every cloud begin to fall For one moment then we understood it all [Verse 3: Howard] Everyone, everyone, can you hear the soldiers coming Everyone, everyone, every man and every women We all fall, in the end, we're just miracles of matter So come on Let me love you [Chorus 2: Gary] This is the life we've been given So open your mind and start living We can play a part if we only start believing This is the life we've been given So open your heart and start loving We can make a start if we only learn to listen, yeah [Verse 4: Mark] Then the crowd began to head for the horizon A million people walking back to work But you and me, we just lay down in the garden Yeah you and me, we just lay down in the garden [Chorus 2: Gary] This is the life we've been given So open your mind to start living We can play a part if we only start believing This is the life we've been given So open your heart and start loving We can make a start if we only learn to listen, yeah [Outro: Mark] You and me, we just lay down in the garden Yeah, the garden
