Closer To The Sky (Alternative) - Michael Franti

I’m so very happy just to be here

I’m so glad I’m finally in a psace with you

People say that we should never do this

But they don’t, they don’t wanna know the truth

You can try, you can try

To build a fortress in your mind

Try to stack up all your things so high

You can try, you can try

To climb away from this life

But it will only bring you closer to the sky

People say that you should never come here

Something bad is only gonna happen to you

Better stay inside where we can see you

If you don’t we’ll make sure that you’re feeling blue

You can try, you can try

To build a fortress in your mind

Try to stack up all your things so high

You can try, you can try

To climb away from this life

But it will only bring you closer to the sky

Some people think that life is worth living for tomorrow

Some people think that life is worth living for today

Some people think that life is worth nothing but sorrow

Some people think that life is worth living day by day

We can try, we can try

To build a fortress in your mind

Try to stack up all your things so high

We can try, we can try

To climb away from this life

But it will only bring us closer to the sky
