Story behind the song
I wrote this song about the challenges of going through the ups and downs of life as we follow our own spiritual journey home to God. What I did NOT know when I wrote it was that I was about to develop bipolar illness and REALLY learn about life's ups and downs!
Lyrics
I've been trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick I've been trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick I've been up and down & all around Until I learned to dwell in the Light & Sound Oh-oh-yeah. Uh-huh-huh. The Master tried to tell me, what a stubborn case! I'd looked everywhere but in his face And then I couldn't help but wonder why my eyes were red Crying every day and every night in bed I was trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick Oh yeah. Yeah-ah-ah. Uh-huh-huh. When I found the Inner Master he grinned at me He said, "Well, you've been bouncing through eternity But now if you want to I will take you home I'll tell you how to get there on the inner telephone You've been trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick Oh, yeah. Yeah-ah-ah. Uh-huh-huh." INSTRUMENTAL BREAK Hey, Inner Master, you're the one for me I'd rather not be bouncing through eternity And if you fellow bouncers want to share this joy There are ways & means for you to employ If you've been trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick Oh, yeah. Yeah-ah-ah. Ooh-ooh-ooh. I've been trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick I've been trying to get to God on a pogo stick Trying to go to heaven on a pogo stick I've been up and down and all around Until I learned to dwell in the Light & Sound And I'll go up and down and all around Until I learn to dwell in the Light & Sound Oh-oh-oh, yeah!
