Songtexte

If up's the word; and a world grows greener
Minute by second and most by more--
If death is the loser and life is the winner
(and beggars are rich but misers are poor)
--let's touch the sky:
With a to and a fro
(and a here there where)and away we go
In even the laziest creature among us
A wisdom no knowledge can kill is astir--
Now dull eyes are keen and now keen eyes are keener
(for young is the year,for young is the year)
--let's touch the sky:
With a great(and a gay
And a steep)deep rush through amazing day
It's brains without hearts have set saint against sinner;
Put gain over gladness and joy under care--
Let's do as an earth which can never do wrong does
(minute by second and most by more)
--let's touch the sky:
With a strange(and a true)
And a climbing fall into far near blue
If beggars are rich(and a robin will sing his
Robin a song)but misers are poor--
Let's love until noone could quite be(and young is
The year,dear)as living as i'm and as you're
--let's touch the sky:
With a you and a me
And an every(who's any who's some)one who's we
