you know i'm out here on my own
trying to get my own self grown
thought i'd take some time alone

it's hard to see the green from here
only sometimes when cloud's aren't near
they part some days just like my fears

there's nothing quite like that clear day
the view up here from far away
sometimes i think i'd like to stay

far from the people down below
i knew them why back, long ago
out where the river used to flow
