lyrics

The view up here is something to behold
As I look across the valley below
Cities and towns seem so small
That it doesn't make any sense at all
Why we get so aggravated
At the littlest thing someone else did now

Can't see the cars, can't hear the sound
Thousands of people running around
Screaming at each other like they were still kids
Shouldn't evolution take care of this
Maybe we all should come up here
When life leaves us grinding our gears
Take a deep breath and realize
That we still live under the same sky now

The view up here is something to see
Valley below still looks so green
All the towers like little white specks
Makes me think we should all care less
About life's little problems and all that stress
When we still have a place like this
Take a deep breath and realize
That we still live under the same sky now

Maybe we all should come up here
When life leaves us grinding our gears
Take a deep breath and realize
That we still live under the same sky now
