Statues and Stories




[Margaret]
What happened here? Well let’s see

On a central square, in a city of the Sun rose a palace
It was high and handsome gleaming like the crown of a king

[Clara]
Where would that be? Where is that?

[Margaret]
In the tower, a warning bell would ring

[Clara]
What kind of warning?

[Margaret]
For a fire, or a river overflowing

[Clara]
Oh

[Margaret]
Firenze
On a central square, the beginning of a kingdom republic

[Clara]
Is there a king; is there a queen?

[Margaret]
There were princes, painters, noblemen of logic and art

‘Twas a dawning day unfurling

From the heart
The painting of the world we know

[Clara and Margaret]
The world we know
On a central square

[Margaret]
In a city made of statues and stories

[Clara]
Go on and tell me what they mean

[Margaret]
It ignited there like a beacon coming out of the dark
You can feel it

[Clara]
You can feel it

[Margaret]
You can follow

[Clara]
You can follow

From an age to an age

The world
It started then and there and here we are
It’s a new old world to me
It’s a new old world and we are here

[Clara]
