When I was a girl I conversed with flowers
Oh we chatted for hours in evergreen bowers
And even now I find it hard not to stand on a wall
Just to be a bit taller, not scared I will fall
And oh there are some things that never will change
Like the sun on your back, or the kiss of the rain
I'll never tire of feelings they make
They give me my reason for being awake
Then I go up, up
Up to the starry old skies
Up, where the dawn bursts into light
Up, right to the edge of cathedral spires
Then I, suddenly I'm almost lighter than air
I follow my gazing up there
And perch like a bird to sing on the wire
And nothing can tether me down
My feet barely skimming the ground
And I never want it to stop, I want to go up
A person like me can feel terribly dire
But the payoffs are highs that are just so much higher
That sometimes I think I'll explode from the feeling of light
As it runs through my veins till I finally take flight
And look through my eyes for an hour or two
See this wonderful place the way I always do
I'll never tire of feelings it makes
It gives me my reason for being awake
Then I go up, up
Up to the starry old skies
Up, where the dawn bursts into light
Up, right to the edge of cathedral spires
Then I, suddenly I'm almost lighter than air
I follow my gazing up there
And perch like a bird to sing on the wire
And nothing can tether me down
My feet barely skimming the ground
And I never want it to stop, I want to go up
Up till I see the first rays of the sun
Up where there's something worth gazing upon
Up where I leave all my worries behind
Up 'till I'm finally over it all
Up though I know I'll have further to fall
Up where the answers are easy to find
I go up, up
Up to the starry old skies
Up, where the dawn bursts into light
Up, right to the edge of cathedral spires
Then I, suddenly I'm almost lighter than air
I follow my gazing up there
And perch like a bird to sing on the wire
And nothing can tether me down
My feet barely skimming the ground
And I never want it to stop, I want to go up
