Roof of the World

There's a strong mist blowing off The walls of an emerald mountain side I can hear the canyons calling The soft roar of water falling The words I know cannot convey The gravity of this peaceful place The words I know cannot begin To capture standing on this continent On this continent I'm up on the roof of the world I'm up on the roof of the world The clouds are shaking hands Exchanging compliments Up on the roof of the world Up on the roof of the world I've never felt so small Looking out across it all Round and round I amble on Higher towards Orion's arms Switchbacks like railroad ties Criss-cross this terrace of the sky A patchwork quilt of gold and green Stretches out as far as I can see As far as I can see I'm up on the roof of the world Up on the roof of the world The clouds are shaking hands Exchanging compliments Up on the roof of the world Up on the roof of the world I've never felt so small Looking out across it all Across it all Across it all I'm up on the roof of the world Up on the roof of the world The clouds are shaking hands Exchanging compliments Up on the roof of the world Up on the roof of the world I've never felt so small Looking out across it all
