Eagles - Busy Being Fabulous lyrics

from Into the Mystery

..............................................

From the top of the towers

You could see past the narrows

Past our lady of the harbor

To the broad, open sea

See the curve of the earth

On the vast, blue horizon

From the world?s greatest city

In the land of the free

All the brave men and women

that you never would notice

From the precincts and fire halls

The first on the scene

Storming into the buildings

On the side of the angels

They were gone in an instant

In the belly of the beast

We are children of slavery

children of immigrants

Remnants of tribes and their tired refugees

As the walls tumble down

We are stronger together

Stronger than we ever knew we could be

As strong as that statue that stands for the promise

Of liberty here in this city of dreams

Liberty here in this city of dreams

All the flags on front porches

And banners of unity

Spanning the bridges

From the top of the fence

As we heal up the wounds

And take care of each other

There?s more love in this nation

Than hate and revenge

CHORUS

..............................................
