♪ Ah, cities, buildings falling down ♪

♪ Satellites come crashing down ♪

♪ I see them falling out the skies like eagles ♪

♪ Mirrored glass and shattered egos ♪

♪ In a corner of the world ♪

♪ We'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels ♪

♪ In the alleyways and bars downtown ♪

♪ All from here to there can we ♪

♪ This city comes alive at night ♪

♪ See these city walls are heaving ♪

♪ If these old city walls should crash ♪

♪ Amid the rubble you'd find us breathing ♪

♪ See what you see in me ♪

♪ Boy I believe in you ♪

♪ Say what you're seeing ♪

♪ All gone away ♪

♪ You talk about the Lebanon ♪

♪ You tell me 'bout the dawn of Eden ♪

♪ You talk about South Africa ♪

♪ I'll ask you about the Irish children ♪

♪ You say one more Polish Knight ♪

♪ Could come and blow away the doors to freedom ♪

♪ Can Mother Ethiopia ♪

♪ Blow away the tears we see run ♪
