Phoenix Park

Verse 1

Smoke from the factory rising

Cobblestone man on his knees

Building a road to the lowlands

Out to the great wide sea

Stealing from the nest of a swallow

Another bird of mercy in flight

Surely her song on forgiveness

Will bring this city light

Chorus

We swim in a pool of stars

We run through Phoenix Park

For a time no wish for wings

We hurt we dream

Wounded we still believe

Wounded we still believe

Verse 2

Firecrackers over memphis

Grace-land open for all

Pilgrims gather round the pay-phones

Waiting for the King to call

Buffalo sky in Dakota

Riders on the joyful plains

Every cloud a hallelujah

Turning ghost water into rain

Chorus

We swim in a pool of stars

We run through Phoenix Park

For a time no wish for wings

We hurt we dream

Wounded we still believe

Wounded we still believe

Bridge

Eyes are open wide

Hands up to the sky

Waiting for a sign
