Well even in the light of day

We somehow slipped away 

Into the city down by the lake.

And just beyond the crowded streets

We found a place to meet

Where the grass was greener

And how we did sing beneath our God.



(Chorus)

And the measure of that place

Was the pleasure on your face

As the music starts to rise.

And the sun did fall

But when the melody was young

Until the singers all were sung

The Maker of the skies

Well He just smiled on.



And the move was fine.



Beneath the mountain city walls

It was a picture of us all

And our hearts were laughing

As the band did play.

Until the music took our feet

To the motion of the street

This grass was bluer

And how we did dance

On the yellow lines.



(Chorus)



When the darkness finally fell

The mountains cast their spell

And we were together

With our eyes upheld

To the passion in the sky

Our God and country light

It's an endless matter.

And how we did shine,

How we did shine beneath that light.



Beneath that light

Beneath that night.



(Chorus)
