New Zion

[Verse 1]

There were signs up in the sky

When we gathered by the garden wall

Everybody on his best behavior

Listening for the altar call

[Verse 2]

High priest of Salem in his robes

Ranting at the coming of the day

Ravens at the gates

Frightening all the visitors away

[Chorus]

I laid down by the water

Dreamed a dream of where I come from

Old things made new

Waiting for you

[Verse 3]

There were wooden wind chimes rustling

In the trees above the anthills on the dunes

On the high winds we could hear them

Old familiar tunes

[Verse 4]

The little bit of faith we had once

Like the memory of a movie

They got burned up in the great fire

Reassembling itself slowly but surely

[Chorus]

I laid down by the water

Dreamed a dream of where I come from

Old things made new

Waiting for you
