This city is made of stoneEarth and ground is moved, stacked to build a homeThe trees are standing all aloneTransplanted to the city streetsTo make this place feel more like homeA place we do not knowBut it's fine, oh it's fine, oh it's fine...A place where I long to goWhere it's mine, oh it's mine, it's mine...Oh it's timeIf the streets turned to a riverwayAnd the cars just simply float awayAnd the buildings turned to redwood treesTaller than the eye can seeIf I could watch that sun go up and downOn the other side of townAnd if the streetlights turned to moonlightIf the streetlights turned to moonlightBaby that'd be alright, it'd be alright with meAnd the noise down on the streetsOf beeps and bangs and honks and dogs and baby's screamsThe noise is jumbled like a seaIt rolls like thunder and the rumbling is calling out to meSongtexteI hear the mountains call my nameSinging ah.....The sweeping valleys do the sameSinging ah...If the streets turned to a riverwayAnd the cars just simply float awayAnd the buildings turned to redwood treesTaller than the eye can seeIf I could watch that sun go up and downOn the other side of townAnd if the streetlights turned to moonlightIf the streetlights turned to moonlightIf the birds flew south when winter cameAnd we all packed up and did the sameJust to catch a taste of God's green earthIs to drink the cup of life's rebirthAnd if this cold concrete beneath our toesWas a wide green field where flowers growFrom up here on the third floor balconyI can see the possibilitiesAnd the thunder on the street belowFinally begins to slowAs the streetlights turn to moonlight Aus Songtexte Mania
