And every day is the right day  
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow  
You look down  
Hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd

Play some rock n roll

We just might work it out forever

Walk upon England’s mountains green?  
And was the Holy Lamb of God  
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
