Beach Ball - Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 5/1/09
All the world is like a beach ball
Out in space, between the waves
In the hands of laughing babies
All the world is gumball shaped
Hello moon
Hello stars and sky
Heaven, won't you
Answer me why?
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Look upon this burning city
Victory, smiles the wicked man
Does he feel the weight of every finger
Hanging on his heavy hand?
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Melt the words right to my skin
And your smile, my flesh and bones
From the mountains I will sing this
Through your veins my river flows
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a beach ball
Give me love, big as a beach ball
Out in space, between the waves
In the hands of laughing babies
All the world is gumball shaped
Hello moon
Hello stars and sky
Heaven, won't you
Answer me why?
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Look upon this burning city
Victory, smiles the wicked man
Does he feel the weight of every finger
Hanging on his heavy hand?
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Melt the words right to my skin
And your smile, my flesh and bones
From the mountains I will sing this
Through your veins my river flows
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a mountain
I ring the bell 'til someone listens
Bring me gold and bring me wisdom
Give me scars to bring me grace
A wicked wit and when I use it
Dash the hopes of those who hate me
Give me love, big as a beach ball
Give me love, big as a beach ball
