You've got a vision of some far off day Beautiful and bright A carrot hanging out of reach But always in your sight There's an icon in your mind That stands for happiness someday A picture on the wall Of a kingdom far away
- Chorus -
But oh, it's closer than you think Oh, it's breathing in between Oh, it's closer than you think Oh, it's right under your feet
The sky is much more blue And the clouds are always white The streets of course are gold And always lit with rays of light There's nothing on this earth That's as good as whats up there Life is so much better When you're floating in the air
Forget about your bother If he doesn't seem to understand The heaven you've concocted in your head Never mind your sister When she asks you silly questions About all the broken people left unfed The burning questions are better left for dead
You can spend your life inside a box Looking through stained glass And dream about a better day And hope that it comes fast
