lyrics

I was sleeping in the past
Woke to a brand new day
At last my head is full of dreams
Again I can see the world
I can see the world!

I was lying on the grass
Smoking something smelling good
Smoking, I’m smoking
It helps me to forget
To forget what?

That I’m just watching, and I’m hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever
And I’m watching, hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever

It’s a kind of state of grace
In this world where all goes too fast
I’m wishing for a status quo, but…
What happens? I don’t know
I don’t know!

And I’m watching, and I’m hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever
And I’m watching, hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever
And I’m watching, hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever

Let’s play it together
Listen to the wise man
He can make the moon come up

And I’m watching, and I’m hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever
And I’m watching, hoping, and I’m praying
That what will be now will be forever
