About the song
The observation that an overactive mind needs to focus and act!
Upwards is a "go team" song for musicians, athletes, and artists.

It also makes me think of this in the larger world context:

"If humans blended the IDEAS and thoughtful compassion of the of liberals with the chutzbah (go getter attitude) of the conservatives we would have a decent world." Josh Needleman
Lyrics
Once again he's sittin' there
Mind is spinin' round
Scetching thoughts with fantastic ideas
Trying to pin them all down
Finding my way to shut it off
Getting through the heavy weather
Gettin' my feet back on the ground now
Countin' off this jammin' tune...

Set it up by yourself
You can do it now!
Turn your vision into fire.

Many long roads travelled
Many more to go
Your past and fake future are sayin' right now
Explore the open road
Your always wishin' for that special showcase
One that all your time requires
Keep on movin down this funky road

Exploring in flight
Skateboarding backflip snowboarding isn't a crime
Electric engine stereo tires...

Everything
Naturally
Risin' and fallin' in rhym
Doin' time
For the little crimes
Against the fabric of your heart....
