Lying in the park On a beautiful day Sun shine in the grass And the children play Siren's passing Fire engine's red Someone's house is burning down On a day like this
The evening comes and we're hanging out On the front step And a car goes by with the windows rolled down And that war song is playing "why can't we be friends?" Someone's screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is And if you think about it Somebody's going hungry And someone else is eating out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong Somebody's heart is broken It becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in a lover's kiss Like a pretty bird on a breeze Or water to a fish But a bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor Hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is And if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school While another's dropping out Funny the way it is Not right or wrong On a soldier's last breath His baby's being born
Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing under me 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 mountain, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and stars
Watch the sky the jetplanes So far out of my reach Is there someone up there looking down on me? Boy chase a bird So close but everytime He never catch her But he can't stop trying
Funny the way it is And if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school While another's dropping out
Funny 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 And it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is And if you think about it One kid walks 10 miles to school While another's dropping out
Standing on a bridge Watch the water passing under me 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 mountain, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and stars
