Robert Hurwitz - Statues And Stories lyrics

[MARGARET, spoken] What happened here? Well, let's see... (sung) On a central square In the city of the sun Rosa Palace It was high and handsome Gleaming like the crown of a king [CLARA, spoken] Where would that be? Where is that? [MARGARET] In the tower A warning bell would ring [CLARA] What kind of warning? [MARGARET] For a fire Or river overflowing [CLARA] Oh [MARGARET] Firenze On a central square The beginning of a kingdom republic [CLARA] Was there a king? Was there a queen? [MARGARET] There were princes painters Nobleman of logic and art [CLARA] Firenze! [MARGARET] Leonardo... [CLARA] Leonardo... [MARGARET] Michaelangelo, the start [CLARA, spoken] That's a completely naked statue! [MARGARET] T'was a dawning day Unfurling... [CLARA] From the heart... The painting of the world we know [BOTH] The world we know On a central square [MARGARET] In the city made of statues and stories [CLARA] Go on and tell me what they mean [MARGARET] It ignited there like a beacon coming out of the dark You can feel it... [CLARA] You can feel it... [MARGARET] You can follow... [CLARA] You can follow... [MARGARET] The Spark [CLARA] We're on vacation [MARGARET] From an age to an age [CLARA] From an Age to an age [MARGARET] In Firenze... [CLARA] In Firenze... [MARGARET] In Firenze... [CLARA] In Firenze... [MARGARET] The spark, the world [CLARA] The painting of the world [BOTH] It started there and then and here we are It a new old world to me It's a new old world and we are here! [CLARA] On a central square [MARGARET] In the city made of statues and stories [BOTH] It ignited there like a beacon coming out of the dark [CLARA] You can feel it... [MARGARET] You can feel it... [CLARA] You can follow... [MARGARET] You can follow... [CLARA] You can feel it... [MARGARET] You can feel it... [CLARA] You can follow... [MARGARET] You can follow the spark... [CLARA] We're on vacation! [MARGARET] We're on vacation! [COMPANY] Ah... [CLARA] In Firenze... [MARGARET] In Firenze [CLARA] In Firenze [MARGARET] In Firenze The spark, the world [CLARA] The painting of the world [BOTH] It started then and there and here we are! It's a new old world to me It's a new old world and we are finally here!
