Thank you for making the world a bit more heaven-like.

That's lovely!

I asked the habitual party goer
just how high she thought she'd get,
and I asked the etherial girls
if they were floating yet.

And so I asked the light of the day
"What's this rush for heaven?"
And I saw a bird fly away,
and I could not ask again.

...I've been running uphill, panting,
punching at at the air -
fighting what's been keeping me down
like I could see it there.

And so I asked the light of the day,
"What's this rush for heaven?"
And I saw a bird fly away,
and I started climbing again.
