Can't stand waiting
There's so much that must be done
Before I get my elevation
I said I need it
Can't you see I need it
These distractions keep me down
Oh can't you sense my desperation
What else could matter
I mean, can't you see
Oh, what else matters
When your whole heart's aching to be free
Oh the sky is calling me
Got to get up past five thousand feet
Don't you know that's where I have to be
High up
Among the clouds
Flying
I've never felt so free
High up
Among the clouds
What else do I need
I don't want to come back down
Don't make me come back down
It's such a feeling
It just sends me reeling
Like I could reach and touch the sun
It's way beyond all expectations
Like a shot of perfection
By hypodermic injection
It would hook most anyone
You'd see with just one demonstration
What else could matter
Come on, can't you see
Oh, what else matters
When your whole heart's aching to be free
Give me full velocity
Shooting up to twenty thousand feet
Can't you see that's where I've got to be
High up
Above the clouds
Flying
At supersonic speed
High up
Above the clouds
What else could I need
I don't want to come back down
Can't make me come back down
Oh can't you sense my desperation
I've got to feel that exhilaration
Got the opportunity
Gonna take it to the nth degree
Taking off and pouring on the speed
High up
Above the clouds
Flying
Means everything to me
High up
Above the clouds
Nothing else I need
Got to be high up
Don't keep me tied up
Got to be flying
Got to be flying
Oh, high up
Oh, high up
