City of Glass

Look what we've made from melted sand

Expert drawings, expert plans

Let the reader understand

It's a delicate triumph

Here in this city of glass

Fragile walls can tumble fast

All it takes is just one crack

Proceed with caution

We built this thing together

We hoped it would last forever

Oh, so fragile

And so beautiful

Oh, please be careful

Please, please don't let it fall down

Please don't be so cavalier

We can't be throwing stones in here

The bull in the china shop is fear

Best to move slowly

Things aren't always as they seem

Interpreting reality

Are these lies or prophecies

Time will tell

We - we're interconnected

Let's fix the fractures we've detected

Oh, so fragile

And so beautiful

Oh, please be careful

Please, please don't let it fall

Oh, things can break so quickly

Come tumbling to the ground

Oh, try to tread lightly

Please, let's not mess around

Oh please, please don't let it fall down
