Lying in the park on a beautiful day Sunshine in the grass and the children play Sirens pass and fire red Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this And evening comes and were hanging out On the front and a car goes by with the windows rolled down And that war song is playing “Why can’t we be friends?” Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is If you think about it going hungry And someone else is eating out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong Somebody’s heart is broken And it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in a lovers kiss Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor Hear the laughter while the children play
Funny the way it is If you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school Another’s dropping out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong On a soldier’s last breath baby is being born
Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing underneath me It must have been much harder When there was no bridge just water Now world is small Compared to how it used to be With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
Watch the sky A jet plane so far out of my reach Is there someone up there looking down on me? A boy chase a bird So close but every time He never catch her but he stop trying Funny the way it is If you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school Another’s dropping out the way it is Not right or wrong On a soldier’s last breath His baby’s being born
Funny the way it is Not right or wrong Somebody’s broken heart Becomes your favorite song Funny way it is If you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school Another’s dropping out
Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing underneath It must have been much harder When there was no bridge just water Now the world is small Compared to how it used to be With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
