Lyrics

The dragonfly landed on my friend Lynn's fingertip
Reminding us we need to rest on this, the long, strange trip
But also it did whisper that some change was on its way
The old world, it is crumbling and the new one starts today
I played the smart professor, yes, I tried it on for size
I'm done with facts and figures, now I hunger to be wise
And I'm finding some okayness deep inside this veil of tears
Some call it delusion, I call it getting on in years
Falling upward
The pain of youth is gone
One day my plaintive mourning turned into a lovely song
Falling upward
Each step a quiet victory
I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be
Hand on heart each morning, take my dose of daily bread
Head off into battle against the voices in my head
They say that I'm not worthy, that I'm too scuffed up to pray
Well, if there is a devil, surely that is what he'd say
The world's a great seductress and it wants me on its team
Best to heed the words of those who woke
Up from the dream (Wake up from the dream)
So I'm reading all the holy books in this, my fortieth year
Rejoice, they say, have courage, be content and of good cheer
Falling upward
The pain of youth is gone
One day my plaintive mourning turned into a lovely song
Falling upward
Each step a quiet victory
I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be
Falling upward
My life is very short, it's true, and I'm left wondering why
The days, they last forever, and the years, they sail by
And the kid in me's confused about this man's face in the mirror
It once was my complexion, now it's my conscience I want cleared
I cannot fix or save the world and I know that that's alright
Solutions, they aren't coming from the left or from
The right (Coming from the left or from the right)
Like the great sage said in Ojai, "Only love will heal this mess"
And now my contribution's loving more and speaking less
Falling upward
The pain of youth is gone
One day my plaintive mourning turned into a lovely song
Falling upward
Each step a quiet victory
I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be
I'm finally inching forward toward the man I long to be
Thank God I'm falling upward
Toward the man I long to be
