i was sitting in the back of a new york city taxi cab,
when i tried to look at the sky
what i saw were windows, bricks,
and bridges down the road a bit,
when a simple thought entered my mind
bricks will break, bridges fall,
buildings come down
not much going to survive till tomorrow
but love’s going to last forever
love’s going to last forever
magnificent by human standards,
but the buildings can not touch the grandeur of that
which will survive
able to amaze us all,
deep and wide and wonderful,
this love of the Divine
bricks will break, bridges fall, buildings come down
not much going to survive till tomorrow
chorus
some people talking like things are going to remain
i see it in the ads, in the news
but i think of all that’s lost in yesterday
and my belief in love gets renewed
bricks will break, bridges fall, buildings come down
not much going to survive till tomorrow
chorus
