I try to picture the girl
Through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl as her own new world
Though a home is on the surface
She is still a universe
Glory God or Goddess peeking through the blinds
Are we all here, standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time?
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
I try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
And see him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter of fact, he's not a beast
No, not the devil either
Always a good deed-doer
And it's laughter that we're making after all
The call of the wild
Is still an order nationwide
In the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing of gratitude
Practicing their loving for you
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously, mm
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Oh, live righteously
And sing it out
And just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
You see, nothing is ever as it seems
Yeah, this life is but a dream
Oh (lift me up to Thee, Almighty)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Raise your hands and start acknowledging)
(He)
(If you're living it righteously)
(Then you're taking the easy way)
(Just, just, take, take, takin' it easy)
Live high, live high
Live mighty, mighty, mighty
Oh, live righteously (livin' righteously)
And taking it easy, live high (live high)
Live mighty (lift me up to Thee)
Oh, live righteously (livin' righteously)
Just take, just, just takin' it easy, high (live high)
Oh, live mighty, mighty (celebrate and feel the love inside)
Oh, live righteously and sing it out
Just take it easy (take it easy)
See, live high
Oh, live righteously
Just take it easy
(Yeah, whoo!)
(That's it, yeah!)
(It's a wrap, it's a wrap, it's a wrap)
(High five, high five, high five, high five)
