The View from Up Here

Mandy Moore , Eden Espinosa

Life′s been so unsatisfying
Look, suddenly, now I'm flying
Freewheeling from cloud to cloud to cloud
Wings spread and the sky below me
There′s no one to stop or slow me
Pure freedom and everything's allowed

Down there
I know there's tons of burdens I must bear
Somewhere

But from up here
The world looks so small
And suddenly life seems so clear

And from up here
You coast past it all
The obstacles just disappear

Never feel heavy or earthbound
No worries or doubts interfere
There′s nothing but you looking down on the view from up here

Stretch out with the wind behind you (Here we go)
Float up, let the current find you (Look out below)
Keep climbing and sail from breeze to
Breeze (Stay close, don′t leave me, please!)
Head up to the stratospheres
With only the stars to steer us
Just think of the possibilities

I think I've got it!

Below
We spend our whole lives trudging to and ′fro
Now-

{CASSANDRA]
Woah!

And from up here

The world looks so wide

Yet every horizon seems near

And from up here

No path is denied

You choose which direction you veer

And suddenly you can breathe easy

Contented

Carefree

Cavalier

Just gliding on through
Looking down on the view from up here

And from up here
The world is all yours
Each mountain and meadow and mere
And from up here
Life's duties and chores
Are barely worth shedding a tear

And all of the sky lies before us
Straight up to the far stratosphere
So head for the blue and let′s take in the view from up here

It's just me and you looking down on the view from up here
