Caught out under the sun And the world had just begun And the runners were on the run Quick as lightning The pavement under our feet And the smell of the wet concrete And the ringers they rang so sweet How we were shining And the songs we loved were playing on the sky above Like we had the world to ourselves I can still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking now Called out into the light From a long and destructive night But the sun never rose so bright Or so tender And some day after we're gone Well this world is gonna carry on
And the singers will sing along But they won't remember When the songs we loved Were playing on the sky above And we had the world all to ourselves I can still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking now Oh, where will we, where will we fly? Where will we, where will we fly? I still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking now I still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking Still see the daylight breaking now Breaking now
