I used to sit on a high tree
and think that if i'd climb high enough
maybe I could see the whole world
maybe life wouldn't be too tough.

then I'll know why we are here
what is love, sadness or fear.
maybe the liars will let me know
or a whisper from the sky

chorus:
lift yourself a little higher
on the tip of your toes
so you could see all the people, house and the shores
and when you'll only see the clouds
make one of them yours.

so maybe a tree isn't enough
should I climb instead on a high giraph
what if I try to get on an airplane
and it suddenly starts to rain?
what would I do then?

chorus :
I'll lift myself a little higher
on the tip of my toes
so I would see all the people, house and the shores
and when I'll only see the clouds
I'll try to reach the stars.

so a tree wasn't that high
and a giraph i couldn't find
I looked for everything
I've tried to have it all.
I climbed up on the highest building around
all that was lost , was there to be found.
but then I realized, you see
that I was really looking for me.

chorus:
lift yourself a little higher
as much as you can
see the women and men
why don't they understand?

so go find yourself a nice tree
or maybe a fast car
explore the world
how do you like it so far?
when you'll finally find yourself
life will start to look fair
meanwhile I'm on a tree
and nobody cares...
