Take It Up

I got an extra glimpse

Of the truth today

Staring at my breakfast

When I thought I heard it say

Fighting is no good

Success, an empty lie

The treasure hunt is lonely

Until you realize

We came to take it up

We came to take it up, we came to take it up

We came to raise it up

We came to take it up, we came to move it up

I promise you miss

I will do my best today

But somebody keep trying to make me

Trying to make me lose my way

But I believe, oh, my darling

I believe in you

And I hope when you hear this

You'll remember what we were sent to do

We came to take it up

We came to take it up, we came to take it up

We came to move it up

We came to raise it up, we came to praise it up

I came to take you up

You came to take me up

We came to take us up

Take me up, take me up

We came to take it up

Speeding out of the town

I thought I'd lost my way

'Til I saw the green and ebony

Come a-wondering about their pay

Well, I've got the money

If you've still got the friends

We can really put this world to right

Or sit and watch the end, you know

We gonna take it up

We gonna move it up

We gonna take it up

We gonna take it up

To the very, very top

To the very, very top

To the very, very, very, very, very, very top

To the very very top

To the very very top

To the very very top
