High Up Here

Intro

Oh oh

High above it all

Yeah

Verse 1

Legs like timber reaching for the sky

I watch the golden clouds drift on by

Orange patterns on my velvet skin

Waiting for the morning to begin

Acacia leaves are tasting sweet and green

Watching things that you have never seen

Pre-Chorus

Lower my neck to the watering hole

Peace in the valley deep in my soul

Shadows are dancing across the red sand

I am the watcher of this holy land

Chorus

Under the burning African sun

I see the lions on a morning run

Watching the people in the tall grass

I see the shadows as the ages pass

High up here

Safe and clear

I see it all

Verse 2

Dusty trucks are bouncing on the track

Binoculars are staring right back

Elephant families moving in a line

The rhythm of the earth is doing fine

Leopards sleeping on a heavy limb

I see the world and it is never dim

Pre-Chorus

Lower my neck to the watering hole

Peace in the valley deep in my soul

Shadows are dancing across the red sand

I am the watcher of this holy land

Chorus

Under the burning African sun

I see the lions on a morning run

Watching the people in the tall grass

I see the shadows as the ages pass

High up here

Safe and clear

I see it all

Bridge

Vultures circling in the blue

Zebra stripes are coming into view

Long neck bending down

Highest head in town

Chorus

Under the burning African sun

I see the lions on a morning run

Watching the people in the tall grass

I see the shadows as the ages pass

High up here

Safe and clear

I see it all
