San Francisco
I met a man who had green purple eyes
He did the wrong thing and hid it with smiles
And I know he would have rotted inside
But he never got caught
I always thought that that you have to be nice
And I really think most people try
I saw a man give his lung just to save a strangers life
And my mother cried
As they hugged and smiled
I'm just a traveler passing through passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all gonna change
Yes I see a garden that's in bloom
The city's been sitting in smoke for the weekend
And the beaches are closed from rough seas
I've been told that it's just the seasons but I don't think so
I watch the white caps from west San Francisco
The red bridge is standing in mist
And everyone waits for their picture
Old friends smile
Side by side
Against fading skies
I'm just a traveler passing through passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all gonna change
Yes I see a garden that's in bloom
I can feel your anger from where I am
You said I don't see a garden going on from where I stand
I feel that too I get scared and I feel stuck
Then I see light I see sky I see babies that smile
And couples that meet up on wide sunny streets
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up
I know those words make me sound so young
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up
I'm just a traveler passing through passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all gonna change
Yes I see a garden that's in bloom
He did the wrong thing and hid it with smiles
And I know he would have rotted inside
But he never got caught
I always thought that that you have to be nice
And I really think most people try
I saw a man give his lung just to save a strangers life
And my mother cried
As they hugged and smiled
I'm just a traveler passing through passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all gonna change
Yes I see a garden that's in bloom
The city's been sitting in smoke for the weekend
And the beaches are closed from rough seas
I've been told that it's just the seasons but I don't think so
I watch the white caps from west San Francisco
The red bridge is standing in mist
And everyone waits for their picture
Old friends smile
Side by side
Against fading skies
I'm just a traveler passing through passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all gonna change
Yes I see a garden that's in bloom
I can feel your anger from where I am
You said I don't see a garden going on from where I stand
I feel that too I get scared and I feel stuck
Then I see light I see sky I see babies that smile
And couples that meet up on wide sunny streets
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up
I know those words make me sound so young
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up
I'm just a traveler passing through passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all gonna change
Yes I see a garden that's in bloom
