Venice Canals

I know there's pain and suffering

You can feel the tension in the air

But they can see the stars shine in Beijing

And hear the birdsong in Times Square

I know you're feeling insecure

From all this change that's come to pass

But the sky is blue in Singapore

And they can smell the ocean in Belfast

Don't get me wrong, this ain't no happy song

There's nothing you can hold onto for now

But when you're feeling low, my dear

Just know the water's crystal clear

And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals

Well, I know there's heartbreak and sorrow

And I know there's really nothing I can say

But we'll be closer tomorrow

To the end of all of this than we are today

So watch the sunrise from your window

Hear the rainfall on the ground

Tell your loved ones that you love them

And miss the ones that aren't around

Don't get me wrong, this ain't no happy song

There's nothing you can hold onto for now

But when you're feeling low, my dear

Just know the water's crystal clear

And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals
