[Verse 1: Moshe Friedman] I’ve been climbing this mountain a couple decades and counting Searching for that fountain of youth I’ve been eagle scouting, blood-hounding my surroundings Hoping for some ounces of proof The wind was whistling, and I kept listening And what I found I now announce from the roof That to float with clouds, and be on solid ground Is all that amounts to the truth I’m a redwood down to my roots I reach the heavens where I’m sprouting my shoots And still growing every day because I stay fluid Storm tries to knock me down, I sway through it So I stay moving out here on this mountainside Chest pounding to the sound of my bouncing stride And as I climb, I’m no longer bound by time And space, I am the summit and the base [Pre-Chorus: Rick Fox] Can you hear me, when I call out your name I’ll sing the tune, you’ll do the same [Chorus: Rick Fox] I wanna fly like the wind Free-fall like the rain Sway like the trees And flicker like the flame [Verse 2: Moshe Friedman] Even though it might sound like a paradox They really fit together like a pair of socks Don’t know if you were aware or not, or if you care or not Or if you’re sleeping like Frere-Jacques But if the whole world doesn’t make you stare in shock It’s time to start flying like an aeronaut See the big picture, get what’s there to be got Then free-fall like rain so you can share with the crops The top needs the bottom, bottom needs the top If you feel complete with one, well you’re not Our job is not to stay a space cadet Cuz earth is Eden, we just haven’t made it yet And the ones afraid to fly, who play the safer bet Might find with a new perspective can change the deck Life my friends is where the two intersect No rest for the righteous in this world and in the next [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge 1: Rick Fox] And one day a week I take my leave Give myself some space to breathe Let my thoughts come back to me Time to hand back the keys Help let the tension ease If only for a moment please So I can feel the summer breeze The drops of rain that fall so free… [Bridge 2: Moshe Friedman] But by daybreak to sit I can’t remain The world’s got too much in her to refrain They’re casting lots, I’m entering my name I’ve got to be a winner in the game I laugh at death and snicker at the pain War - what is it good for? Makes you bigger than when you came No way can my energy be tamed Because I dance like the flicker of the flame [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
