Up on a hill, I can see a light right from you,
Callin back to where we used to live,
But all of this air, is breathing life into me
Calling me away from all of this,
Once you dared me to leave,
Didn’t believe I’d be gone,
But I’m standing off the edge of the earth,
I ain’t got nowhere to be, but everywhere I belong
It feels like freedom, for whatever that’s worth.
Chorus:
And I will climb,
Until there’s no horizons
Don’t ask me why,
Cuz I don’t need to give no reason
Nothing’s ever changing, it’s only rearranging,
So from an old man to a baby, I will still remain the same thing,
That’s me. Singing like a banjo string,
with an out of tune finch in the canopy,
can it be, the trees, bees, and we are all earthlings?
That would sure be one weird extended family,
Roots deeper than a nuclear submarine,
Leaving the child hand in hand with the man in me,
So when the present runs away like a Saturday,
Tells me I better be the one who’s gonna pave the way,
Save the day, I’ll look him in the face and say,
“get back here, and I’ll give you a place to stay for the ever,
Just never leave the door unlocked,
And if you’re going to use the bathroom just be sure to knock,
And that’s that, you’ll be chillin in my habitat,
With the other lab rats in the cabbage patch.”
