Please don't take the sun from the sky
Don't let them damage my eyes
Please don't let my marigolds die
Though I well know they're not mine

Hey, don't let no one get you down
Hey, don't let no one get you down

Please don't let the rain blow away
Let it be there 'til the day

When the city's a museum and a rat is a friend
On the pavements of iron let the grass grow again
Please don't take the sun from the sky
Don't let them damage my eyes
