High above the city, I can see the sun

Rising and setting every day

In my own little world, I can see the moon

Following the sun, bringing darkness and stars

High above the city, I can escape my life

Get away from those who plague me

In my safe hiding place, I can be free

Not controlled by those who surround me

High above the city, I can see the fear

Those living inside cowering beneath

In my getaway, I can see past the lies

Past what they’ve shoved down my throat

High above the city, I can see the world for what it is

An eternal fight for power, leaving the rest in the dust

In my imagined refuge, I can see what is wrong

No matter where, humans will always take advantage of those beneath them
