Vigeland’s Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I almost see my sister in a face that's by my side Although she has the eyes of someone else Another face reminds me of a man I used to know In one, to my surprise, I see myself [Pre-Chorus] Was this done for our sake? Is it art for art's sake? This is such a strange strange place But it's beautiful, it's beautiful [Chorus] And anyone I've ever known is here with me now Here in bronze and stone Anyone I've ever seen stands before me now A part of Vigeland's dream A part of his dream, his vision for the world [Verse 2] I watch a father swing his child around him in the park The laughing boy is happy as can be And witnessing the scene brings out a funny mood in me I pray they'll still be talking in his teens [Pre-Chorus] Was this done for our sake? Is it art for art's sake? This is such a strange strange place But it's beautiful, it's beautiful [Chorus] And anyone I've ever known is here with me now Here in bronze and stone Anyone I've ever seen stands before me now A part of Vigeland's dream A part of his dream, his vision for the world A part of his dream, his dream, oh, his vision for the world [Outro] In one I see my future In one I see my child In one I see an angry little boy I recognise In one I see my childhood In one I see my own true In one I see the wonder and the beauty of the world Of the world All the beauty of the world
