Closer To The Sky Lyrics - Songs From The Front Porch - Michael Franti

I'm so very happy just to be here 

I'm so glad I'm finally in a psace with you 

People say that we should never do this 

But they don't, they don't wanna know the truth 

You can try, you can try 

To build a fortress in your mind 

Try to stack up all your things so high 

You can try, you can try 

To climb away from this life 

But it will only bring you closer to the sky 

People say that you should never come here 

Something bad is only gonna happen to you 

Better stay inside where we can see you 

If you don't we'll make sure that you're feeling blue 

You can try, you can try 

To build a fortress in your mind 

Try to stack up all your things so high 

You can try, you can try 

To climb away from this life 

But it will only bring you closer to the sky 

Some people think that life is worth living for tomorrow 

Some people think that life is worth living for today 

Some people think that life is worth nothing but sorrow 

Some people think that life is worth living day by day 

We can try, we can try 

To build a fortress in your mind 

Try to stack up all your things so high 

We can try, we can try 

To climb away from this life 

But it will only bring us closer to the sky
