lyrics
my son held my hand
as i surrendered all the land
signed away the only stage for this one man band
and the gold trickled down
from my slowly melting crown
and it drowned out the sound as the walls fell down
they came so very fast
so many new faces
and they named the beach at last
as the planes flew past
and the sand they piled so high
setting the sun in the summer sky
where the birds all came to die
glowed so brightly in the night
and god spoke to me
said "listen to everything i'll be telling you shortly"
and he said to me:
"your home isn't everything
just think of the joy you can bring to this town
look around as the hands slowly swing
to the future, and everything"
i climbed the tallest tower
growing taller by the hour
gazed with wonder all around
as the rain came down
and i jumped into the sea
fell away so suddenly
and the current, it swallowed me
with such comforting certainty
as i surrendered all the land
signed away the only stage for this one man band
and the gold trickled down
from my slowly melting crown
and it drowned out the sound as the walls fell down
they came so very fast
so many new faces
and they named the beach at last
as the planes flew past
and the sand they piled so high
setting the sun in the summer sky
where the birds all came to die
glowed so brightly in the night
and god spoke to me
said "listen to everything i'll be telling you shortly"
and he said to me:
"your home isn't everything
just think of the joy you can bring to this town
look around as the hands slowly swing
to the future, and everything"
i climbed the tallest tower
growing taller by the hour
gazed with wonder all around
as the rain came down
and i jumped into the sea
fell away so suddenly
and the current, it swallowed me
with such comforting certainty
