Amazing Things

White clouds cover The whole of the earth Concorde flies Through the skies to the States Lifetimes in memory, flesh being born But this is the age of invisible dawn And the man from the government Says show me a sign The mood of the moment Says have a good time Through stench and starvation, Night never falls There's flies on the skeletons, Shapes on the wall As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth And the masters of flattery Colour the trees they walk on the oceans, Put the town under siege The king of humanity sleeps in despair Walking out in the morning With hands in the air There's zealots in anger, Divine extremes Emotional half-lives, Disposable dreams Rumours of cease-fire Inherit the streets This is the war Of the pure and the meek As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth These days are overgrown in truth Under the sun that's nothing new But flowers still open, Flowers still close Re-arranged molecules, Miracle cures And I can still love you, Call you my own Till the blooms turn to doubt, Till the angels come home As I draw my latest breath Amazing things are done on earth --- Amazing Things - Runrig
