I climbed up as high as I could
you would not have understood
the need the urge to get so high
when you're learning how to cry
The long struggle with that face
the only thing for miles out of place
me with every tourist's goal
to finally feel at home
I could see for miles around
every mountain every valley every river every town
and I new that I was born to die
on the day that I touched the sky
When I left the trees behind
and shut up the moaning in my mind
to stand naked inches from the sun
who am I I am no one
When you're way up there looking down
you can see the wind blowing us all around
and you know every wherefore and why
but you don't give a damn because you're kissing the sky
