First the thunder came then the mountains fell
The heavy sky grew darker, the rising rivers swelled
The earthly hum went silent, every land a lake
But just before oblivion I shook myself awake

I put on my overcoat and I went out into the night
I saw that the stars were still there, just before the light
Like a foal on its feet for the first time
Drinking the whole world in
Awed by a terrible beauty
I heard the whole world sing...

Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Oh, we're living now!
Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Yeah, we're living now!

Born out of nothingness, born of a will to live
Like someone said, "The love you take is equal to the love you give"
From up on the hill the circle spreads its silk like an architect of time
Mapping out the dreams and peculiar follies born of a mental mind
So I put on my overcoat and I step out into the day
I put light on the savage beauty
I hear the whole world say...
Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Oh, we're living now!
Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Yeah, we're living now!

So I put on my overcoat and I slip out into the dawn
All the morning stars, they sing together, happy just to be born
Yeah I put on my overcoat. I'm here just to greet the day
I'm drunk on all this stupid beauty
I hear the whole world say...

Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Oh, we're living now!
Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Yeah, we're living now!

Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Oh, we're living now!
Hey, that's really something
That's really something
Yeah, we're living now!
Hey, that's really something
Really something
Oh, we're living now!
