Along these jagged rooftops I’ve splintered my feet
Above the sorry signals of traffic and heat
Within my own dividers of heaven and earth
My path gave way in tatters revealing it’s worth
I got knocked down – back down to earth
Upon these solid branches I’ve climbed to the heights
Above the distant landscape of struggles and flight
Within this sacred region of cloud and of air
A gust of wind rocked me from out of nowhere
I got knocked down – back down to earth
Lift me up above the chaos
Up above, above it all
Lift me up above the shadows
I got knocked down – back down to earth
