Magna Carta

If I had words like a hammer
If I had powers unreal
Then I would tear down Megiddo
And I would bring you songs of love
And every child of tomorrow
Safely in his bed could lie
And hate would die of starvation

Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today

I’ll find an old man lonely
In the autumn of his years
I’ll find a young girl hoping
To lose herself in love
And to both I’d give a rainbow
For neither side can make it on their own
Young and old come together

Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today

I’ll find some magic morning
I’ll take a boat out on the sea
Maybe run before the west wind
To bring you songs of love
And every fear for tomorrow
In my head could surely lie
And you and I, we’d be together

Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today

If I had words like a hammer
If I had powers unreal
Then I would tear down Megiddo
And I would bring you songs of love
And every child of tomorrow
Safely in his bed could lie
And hate would die of starvation

Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)
Wish it was today

I’ll find a young girl hoping
To lose herself in love
And to both I’d give a rainbow
For neither side can make it on their own

Wish it was (I wish it was)
Wish it was today it was
Wish it was (wish it was)

Two old friends of mine
I saw them only yesterday
They where there
But I got the feeling
They had gone away
And I was alone
Killing time
A stranger in the silence of their company

Two old friends of mine
Is this all life has left of you?
Who took the laughter?
Who took the times
We said what we were going to do?
When we were grown
Grown and ready
To take on the world, with a song
And now the tune is one
You dont remember

Who lost the reason
For being together?
Who says the money wont go round?
For once it was love
And well live on a shoestring
But they dont give no mortgage
On a castle in the air

Two old friends of mine
A dripping tap
And a broken old chair
And if I read between the lines
Someones lonely
Someone doesnt care
If its all gone by tomorrow
For tomorrows been and gone
Just like a bird
That has no home

Two old friends of mine
I saw them only yesterday
They where there
But I got the feeling
They had gone away
And I was alone
Killing time

And we’ll live on a shoestring
But they don’t give no mortgage
On a castle in the air

Two old friends of mine
A dripping tap
And a broken old chair
And if I read between the lines
Someone’s lonely, someone doesn’t care
If it’s all gone by tomorrow
For tomorrow’s been and gone
Like a bird that has no home
