Your mother said everything was beautiful
She didn’t know when
Your mother said everything was beautiful
It could be again
Your mother said everything was beautiful
Everyone had everything
They saw themselves as queens and kings
They had the keys to the secret breeze
They owned the wind in the trees
So please now tell me why
Did all the people cry?
Their heads were full of magic tales
Of heroes strong who never failed
They ruled the sky, thought they’d never die
They felt their dreams fly so high
So please now tell me why
Did all the people cry?
Your mother said everything was beautiful
She didn’t know when
Your mother said everything was beautiful
It could be again
Your mother said everything was beautiful
We’ll build a truth to fit the crime
We’ll dance until the end of time
We’ve got the keys to the secret breeze
We own the wind in the trees
But still we walk on by
While all the people cry?
Hear the people,
See the people
Feel the people cry
