Skyscraper in the city high above all thats below
Reachin' to the sun and shinin in its glow
I'd like to stand on top and stare at what I used to know
To the canyons and forest where I was long ago
These days will leave you beaten and these years
WWll leave you bruised
With the pressure comin down from the head
Through to your shoes
So your thoughts turn to escape now
That you've paid those city dues
Run to the canyons and forests
Since your heart now gets to choose
Where you walk by feel and not by sight
Where you glide like in dreams all through the night
In this urban hurricane the waves can make you drown
And you'll feel that way until the day you sail away from town
Then at last you'll understand that what was lost can now be found
In the canyons and forest where you lay your burdens down
Where you walk by feel and not by sight
Where you glide like in dreams all through the night
Skyscraper in the city high above all thats below
Reachin to the sun and shinin in its glow
I'd like to stand on top and stare at what I used to know
To the canyons and forest where I was long ago
