high on the bell tower i took my view over the downtowns and the avenues where the streets are wide and the people thrive and its further to fall down cause you fly so high i ve never seen such beauty i ve never seen such clear skies i ve never seen such high hopes i ve never seen such tired eyes and i wish that i could be everything you are everything you are down in the delta the city wakes turns on the tv as the levee breaks where the streets are burned hot summer sun and there s nowhere to run to when your time has come i ve never seen such beauty i ve never seen such clear skies i ve never seen such high hopes i ve never seen such tired eyes pull the roots up piece by piece love lives watching over me take my pills and went to sleep oh and i sang myself to sleep and i wish that i could be everything you are everything you are and i wish that i could see the world the way you do as selfishly as you and i wish that i could be everything you are everything you are and i wish that i could state my faith the way you do as certainly as you clear skies going to fall on you clear skies going to fall on you clear skies going to fall on you on you on you clear skies going to fall on you clear skies
