I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See the 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
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
Well 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 an assembly selling gratitude
And practicing the lovin' of you
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
And oh
Let's take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems
Yeah, this life is but a dream
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Let's take it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Let's take it easy
