To the Top - Kero One, Jane Lui

To the top, yo

Yo, it’s rising

To the top, yo

Yo, it’s rising

I see the flowers move in the breeze

As gentle rains shower the trees

A sunray peeks its head in lightly

To find the gloom, loom ahead so feisty

Not trying to budge, it likes how it’s living

Dark days pave the way on its mission

For many months these fields hovered with clouds

Where kids would run around in boots covered with puddles

Dog barks were muzzled by raindrops and thunder

Birds migrate under trees and take cover

Ready for change, it’s been this way to long G

Sunshine’s life but some disagree strongly

And that’s the beauty, some take photos of sunny halos

Others are waiting for double rainbows

Still a few like the view when its grey

And some don’t give a damn dumping cans into the bay

But make way…

Cause it’s rising, yo it’s rising

But make way…

Cause i’ts rising…

To the top

It’s rising, it’s floating away

(up, up and away… up, up and away… now)

It’s rising, I can feel it’s warm embrace

(do you feel it… do you feel it?)

Seven thousand miles across the globe

Upon a home a new day dawns

Indigenous tribes living minimal lives

Under picturesque skies colored blue crayon

Visualize, waterfalls that land upon

Lush landscapes in the Amazon

Where deforestation turns the cameras on

That governments hide or put a bandage on

But the sun is rising, everyday it makes its way

To expose those things hiding, as the darkness fades away

And as the light comes out, you hear the chatter

Kids swim the river, so the heat don’t matter

Men hunt the jungles with spears and daggers

While the sun climbs the rungs of its ladder

And that’s the beauty, some chill in jungles of Brazil

Others live on hills, mansions and mills

Still a few like the bay

And some don’t give a damn clearing land to get paid

But make way…

Cause it’s rising, yo it’s rising

But make way…

Cause i’ts rising…

To the top

It’s rising, it’s floating away

(up, up and away… up, up and away… now)

It’s rising, I can feel it’s warm embrace

(do you feel it… do you feel it?)
