We've been waiting all our lives
For things we've always had
But have no eyes to see
Somethin' new is going to happen
The most natural thing
But nothin' we'd expect

(chorus)
All these buildings and mountains
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes

How do cities understand?
We drink our wine and wonder
Why we're really here
What's the point of even asking?
You take the good and bad
And make the best of it

All these buildings and mountains
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes

All these buildings and mountains
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes

Have you watched the cities move?
Does nature fall before?
This age of industry
For today I'll let it go
You've been good to me
Have I been good to you?

All these buildings and mountains
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes

All these buildings and mountains
Slowly they'll arise
Before our eyes
