Pretty Song

The city lights
The city view
From the hilltop here I think of you
Through the morning air
And through the morning breeze
Your song on the radio it makes me freeze

Such a pretty song
Such a pretty, pretty song
Such a pretty, pretty song when sung together
Why can’t we get together and sing it to the world

Up and down, from coast to coast
A million others recognizing they’re so close
To missing what they love most
A special friendship, extraordinaire
They’re seeking asylum in the subtle message there
You can watch them stop and stare at

Such a pretty song
Such a pretty, pretty song
Such a pretty, pretty song when sung together
How about we get together and sing it to the world

A song about your freedom
A song about doing it right
Like caring for each other
And hugging through the night
Not letting go and holding tight

A song about redemption
Compassion for your fellow man
When daybreak brings you flowers
Flowers from your loved one’s hands
To forgive is to understand

Such a pretty song
Such a pretty, pretty song
Such a pretty, pretty song can be sung together
So let’s get together now and sing it to the world
