Standing in the sun
.watching all the people .have their fun.
I wonder do they realize they're a gift to me .from the skies above?
We've all been forsaken by cleverness and greed
From out of all of this we still rise above to clean each other's feet.
And baby you better believe you've got two strong eyes to see
Everything under the sun is like a rip in the night almost blinding my eyes
And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear Everything will be alright.
Eight o'clock school bells chime little buts are squirming in their seats
Ms. Jones is on the telephone making plans for someone they're all going to meet.
She understands their needs even when she doesn't understand her own.
And when they ask for water she'll never ever bring them a stone.
And baby you better believe you've got two strong eyes to see
Everything under the sun is like a rip in the night almost blinding my eyes
And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear Everything will be alright.
Well, everybody's makin' plans yes, to move on up.
Never havin' to stand in line to drink from the lovin' cup.
Woman shout "Murder!" Others screamin' "Please!"
Someone whispered "Jesus is her!" (We all fell to our knees)
And baby you better believe you've got two strong eyes to see
Everything under the sun is like a rip in the night almost blinding my eyes
And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear Everything will be alright.
Everything is like a rip in the night almost blinding my eyes
And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear Everything will be alright.
