verse 1
In the streets of the city, i have felt the towers falling
And there's nowhere i can run to
Where the people know my name – know my name
When i was a child, i built towers out of stone
And the giants came and toppled them
As if it was a game – it was a game

chorus
But here in the park, where the darkness grows around
I am safe, i am free, and the giant palm trees stand
Guarding my island, where i am who i am
And the things that i see are all at my command

verse 2
In the streets of the city, the night falls likе a stone
And the lights carve thе darkness
With a warning to beware – to beware
When i was a child, i saw palaces of light
Where the sun struck the water
But they said, there's nothing there – there's nothing there

chorus
But here in the park, where the darkness grows around
I am safe, i am free, and the giant palm trees stand
Guarding my island, where i am who i am
And the things that i see are all at my command

verse 3
In the streets of the city, i can hear the sirens calling
And the eyes that turn to watch me
Turn my body into stone – into stone
When i was a child, i heard a woman singing
And then the song was over
And it left me more alone – more alone

chorus
But here in the park, where the darkness grows around
I am safe, i am free, and the giant palm trees stand
Guarding my island, where i am who i am
And the things that i see are all at my command
