Lyrics

It took some time, but I’ve arrived
At a different way to the play the same game
And as my view takes on, on this new shape
The situation seems to change
I’ve got to backup, and look for a brighter day
I’ve got to see the road ahead, to pave a new way
And on those longer city days, as I watch those children play
I hear my grandma’s voice, and the way she used to say:
Take the longview, is what matters most
Can’t see to clearly, from up so close
Got to backup, let my mind see
I can’t let the short term get the best of me
Take the longview, is what matters most
Can’t see to clearly, from up so close
Got to backup, let my mind see
I can’t let the short term get the best of me
No, no no no
I’ve got to take the longview
From the shoreline, to the horizon
From Atlanta to Zimbabwe
If our focus, comes together
We will live on in better ways
We’ve just go to
Listen without ears, see without eyes
Take action based on how we feel inside
I’ve got to backup, and look for a brighter day
I’ve got to see the road ahead, to pave a new way
[Chorus] x1
Got to back up, and let my mind see
Got to focus on, what’s good for me
And if I only see the shorter view, I’ll be a fool
Got to back up, and do right
Take the longview and hold it in my sight
I’ve got to take the longview
I’ve got to take the longview
I’ve got to take the longview
