1: The sun rose over the Bosphorus Strait - The dolphins had come for their once-a-year date
An ancient stage still playing today - I prayed silently it would always stay
2: The sun shone bright over Üsküdar - On a church, a mosque and a David Star
The children celebrated each other’s holidays - All was right though they walked different ways
Ch:
Just a glimpse of how it could be - If there was peace and unity (repeat)
3:
As the crescent moon - turned the mosque golden blue - I wondered if anything could be more true
If climbing seven hills in the dark wooden night - Would yield the rays of the next - morning’s light
Ch.
Just a glimpse of how it could be - If there was peace and unity (repeat)
B.
If there was just one country in this world - This would be its capital
And perhaps Baklava would be its dessert - I thought as I took another bite
Ch.
Just a glimpse of how it could be - If there was peace and unity (repeat)
