What if Love was sent to our hometown by God himself to lend some help?
Would we scatter branches from the trees at His feet when we see Love on our street?

Hosanna
God save us
Unless the whole city shouts
The rocks would cry out

Hosanna
In the highest
What other words could we cry?
When Love comes riding by

Hosanna
Hosanna

And if we see the gathering at the gates of some saints (and some who ain't)
I wonder if we'd join in the parade or lead the way in a few short days when Love is betrayed

Hosanna
God save us
Unless the whole city shouts
The rocks would cry out

Hosanna
In the highest
What other words could we cry?
When Love comes riding by

The crowd
Is divided
Between the hearts forever closed
And the hearts that overflow

Would we...
Fall to our knees?
Because nothing else seems right
When Love comes riding by...

And later on
When what's done is done
When we write a song
How could we not sing...
