One day I will be back in our old street Safe from the noise that's falling around me And we'll release this town from the people Who are trying to knock it down And then only city lights will brighten the night sky And there will be no sound Open the bars and open the markets Open the banks and open the churches And we'll release this town from the people Who are trying to knock it down And then only city lights will brighten the night sky And there will be no sound We've been cowering so long Oh, what I would give, I ask so little Oh, what I would give to stand at the bus stop Or browse in a bookshop to sleep and always be still And we'll release this town from the people Who are trying to knock it down And then only city lights will brighten the night sky And I will be set free from the people Who are trying to bury me And then only fireworks will light the sky at night For all the world can see
