Way Up High
(专辑: Modern Heart - 2016)
[Milow:] I'll tell you a
secret There's no such thing as time and space The
stars and comets Will survive the
human race What's done is done Today is seven years since you're gone I'm doing well so far I'm still wondering where you are Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high I'll tell you my secret That sunny afternoon in March Changed my life completely Turned out to be a
brand new start What's done is done It's been seven years since you're gone Tonight I
think of you I
know one day I'll join you too Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high [John Koenig:] It's hard not to look at the
ground as you walk. To set your sights low, keep the
world spinning and try to stay grounded wherever you are. But every so often you remember to look up and imagine the
possibilities. Dreaming of what's out there. Before long, you find yourself grounded once again. Grounded in the
sense of being homebound. Stuck on Earth. The
more you look to the
sky, the
more you find yourself back on Earth, confronting certain possibilities. It's possible that there are other names for our planet, that we will never know. That there are constellations that feature our sun, from an angle we'll never get to see. That there are many other civilizations hidden beyond the
veil of time, too far away for their light to ever reach us. We dream of other worlds, and name them after our old discarded gods, and they seem almost as distant too far to be seen with the
naked eye. Only ever in artist's renditions. Or a
scattering of pixels on a
monitor, with the
colors tweaked to add a
bit of flair. Even our own neighbourhood is impossibly vast. We're used to showing the
planets nested together because if we drew them to scale, they'd be so far apart, they wouldn't fit on the
same page. And even our own moon, that seems to hang so close to Earth. But still so far away that all the
other planets could fit in the
space between them. It's possible our spacesuits won't need treaded boots ever again. That one day soon we'll tire of wandering and move back home for good. And we'll get used to watching our feet as we walk, occasionally stopping to hurl a
single probe into the
abyss, like a
message in a
bottle. Maybe it shouldn't matter if anyone ever finds it. If nobody's there to know we once lived here on Earth. Maybe it should be like skipping a
stone across the
surface of a
lake. It doesn't matter where it ends up, It just matters that we're here on the
shore. Just trying to have fun and pass the
time, and see how far it goes [Louis Armstrong:] The
primary difficulties that we observed was that there was just far too little time to do the
variety of things that we would have liked to have done
