I Saw Daddy Today - Yann Tiersen

Just walked down the street to the coffee shop Had to take a break I've been by her side for 18 hours straight Saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk Pushing up through the concrete Like it was planted right there for me to see The flashing lights The honking horns All seem to fade away In the shadow of the hospital At 5:08 I saw God today I've been to church I've read the book I know He's here But I don't look Near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I just look down to stop and stare Open my eyes and then I swear I saw God today Saw a couple walking by They were holding hands And she had that glow Yeah, I couldn't help But notice she was starting to show Stood there for a minute Taking in the sky Lost in that sunset A splash of amber melting into shades of red I've been to church I've read the book I know He's here But I don't look Near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I just look down and stop and stare Open my eyes and then I swear I saw God today Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass She's sleeping like a rock My name on her wrist Wearing tiny pink socks She's got my nose She's got her mama's eyes My brand new baby girl She's a miracle I saw God today

You're so late getting home from the office Did you miss your train? Were you caught in the rain? No, don't bother to explain Can I fix you a quick martini? As a matter of fact, I'll have one with you For to tell you the truth I've had a quite a day too Guess who I saw today, my dear? I went in town to shop around for something new I thought I'd stop And grab a bite when I was through I looked around for someplace new Then it occurred to me Where I parked the car There was a most attractive French cafe and bar It really wasn't very far The waiter showed me to a dark secluded corner And as my eyes became accustomed to the gloom I saw two people at the bar Who were so much in love That even I could spot it clear across the room Guess who I saw today, my dear? I'd never been so shocked before I headed blindly through the door They didn't see me passing through Guess who I saw today? Guess who I saw today? Guess who I saw today? I saw you

Did you watch the news today? Did you hear what they said? One thousand more people passed away Aw nah, somebody tell me what's going on New York, New York, big city of dreams There's a nightmare goin' down from the Bronx to Queens And everywhere in between We fighting somethin' we can't even see There's an invisible enemy Just knocked out Italy Keep the mask on 'cause if you cough they gon' look at you like you done a felony And they say we can't hug nobody Not until we find a remedy So we pray for Spain, France, and the U.K China and U.S.A, I pray we gon' be okay Pray for the grammas and grandpas So that they can live to see another day Did you watch the news today? Did you hear what they said? They said don't worry folks, it's all a hoax The news is fake and it's all a joke The death toll's rising with broken hopes Now they got the cure and an antidote Inject yourself with a bleach of soap And a checks in the mail 'cause they know we're broke Did you watch the news today? Did you hear what they said? They said no one's alive to see the pope It's a ghost town coast to coast We're just people that's just tryna cope From different sides with different strokes Livin' different lives from different tribes But everybody's in the same boat Did you hear the news today? They say the world's one 'Cause we're all fighting a war But nobody pick up a gun We got nurses and doctors They fightin' in the front line, savin' lifes I'm waitin' in line, I'm frightened In the store, ah, that's the hero Behind the counter They makin' the world go round Riskin' new encounters They in the front line Dying for the minimum wage Did you watch the news today? Did you hear what they said? They said stay in the house, don't step out If you step out, put the mask on the mouth Six feet back, virus attack Soup on the hands so your lungs don't collapse Don't know the truth Don't know the facts Roll road killin' all the brown and the black COVID-19 got us on our knees Got the temperature risin' 106 degrees It don't care if you speak Cantonese François or Portuguese, Español or Japanese Gotta start sayin', "I can't breathe" Ah, Isn't it ironic? When we can't breathe, the planet breathes And we can see blue skies, blue seas, green leaves, birds and bees I don't know what to believe All the lies or conspiracies Ah, did you hear the news today? Did you hear what they said? One thousand more people passed away Aw nah, somebody tell me what's going on And on and on and on and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on and on Somebody tell me what's going on
