Metanoia — текст песни (Gerry Rafferty)

Metanoia

I saw the light
I changed my world
I changed my heart

We sing a song of repentance
A song of joy
We sing a song of repentance
A song of joy

My father`s mansion has many rooms
But we all live on the lowest floor
Don`t even know there is light above
This understanding won`t do no more

We sing a song of repentance
We sing a song of joy
We sing a song of repentance
We sing a song of joy

I was sitting on a barbed wire fence
Metanoia, it made no sense
How many times I should have cried to you
Now crying won`t do no good

We sing a song of repentance
We sing a song of joy
We sing a song of repentance
We sing a song of joy

I saw the river, I`ve seen the door
I ruled the world, talked to the people
They didn`t understand
They went walking, yeah they went walking

I saw (I saw the river) the light
I`ve seen the door
I changed (I ruled the world) my world
Talked to the people
I changed (they didn`t understand) my heart
They went walking, yeah they went walking

Metanoia
Metanoia

Civilisations they come and go
From ancient Greece down to Mexico
The truth gets lost along the way
We`re still dragging our feet in clay

[Fade]
We sing a song of repentance
We sing a song of joy
We sing a song of repentance
We sing a song of joy

Metanoia (metanoia)
