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
