WAY UP HIGH
1st VERSE:
Look at the sight it's a thrill to be seein',
Nothin' like bein' there
Peer through the clouds you can see them below you
Feel like you drove though air
CHORUS:
WAY UP HIGH, OVER THE MOUNTAIN
WAY UP HIGH, THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE
WAY UP HIGH, JUST LIKE AN EAGLE
WAY UP HIGH, FEEL REMARKABLY FREE
2nd VERSE:
Honkin' the horn, hear the echo repeating
Passing the greeting on
Fading away to the sweet sound of nature
How I await her song
CHORUS:
WAY UP HIGH, OVER THE MOUNTAIN
WAY UP HIGH, THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE
WAY UP HIGH, JUST LIKE AN EAGLE
WAY UP HIGH, FEEL REMARKABLY FREE
BRIDGE:
Oh what a beautiful world is around you and me
Why don't we open our eyes and allow them to see
Just what there is to see.
***
CHORUS:
WAY UP HIGH, OVER THE MOUNTAIN
WAY UP HIGH, THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE
WAY UP HIGH, JUST LIKE AN EAGLE
WAY UP HIGH, FEEL REMARKABLY FREE
3rd VERSE:
Watching the sun slip below the horizon
Waking the rising night.
Blacker than coal laced with millions of diamonds
How can they shine so bright ?
CHORUS:
WAY UP HIGH, OVER THE MOUNTAIN
WAY UP HIGH, THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE
WAY UP HIGH, JUST LIKE AN EAGLE
WAY UP HIGH, FEEL REMARKABLY FREE
BRIDGE:
Oh what a beautiful world is around you and me [fascinating scenery]
Why don't we open our eyes and allow them to see
[so open up your eyes and see just]
Just what there is to see.
CHORUS: (First time a cappella)
WAY UP HIGH, OVER THE MOUNTAIN
WAY UP HIGH, THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE
WAY UP HIGH, JUST LIKE AN EAGLE
WAY UP HIGH, FEEL REMARKABLY FREE
[way up way up high]..................... [like you can fly]
Repeat chorus two more times then end.
