LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I'VE SEEN IT ALL/BJÖRK FEAT. THOM YORKE





I've seen it all
I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend
And lives that were over before they were spent
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all there is no more to see

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great if the roof doesn't fall
The man you will marry, the home you will share
To be honest, I really don't care

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water
It's water, that's all
The Eiffel Tower
And the Empire State
My pulse was as high
On my very first date
Your grandson's hand
As he plays with your hair
To be honest, I really don't care

I've seen it all
I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark
I've seen what I choose and I've seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all there is no more to see

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark the big and the small
Just keep in mind you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all there is no more to see
