Kris Allen Way up High song lyrics

As the clouds go racing by and the stewardess brings my wine

There's a couple things that cross my mind today

Like how many swimming pools does it take to keep us cool?

And are we meant to rule the skies anyway?

Oh, has the world gone wild?

Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight

Oh, hope that I'm on time

And I wish you were by my side

These are my thoughts from way up high

Is the middle-aged businessman making deals with his right hand

Or is he talking to his bride of fifteen years?

And as I get closer to God, is He falling more in love?

Or are all my sins becoming that much clearer?

Oh, has the world gone wild?

Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight

Oh, hope that I'm on time

And I wish you were by my side

These are my thoughts from way up high

And I can't wait to land and forget the place that I have been

To make room for all the memories we will make

But for now, that thought will have to wait

If the pilots cannot see the state line boundaries

Then how do they know where to steer?

And my father did his best, and I'd say he was some success

Cause I'm the man he hopes he sees in the mirror

Oh, has the world gone wild?

Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight

Oh, hope that I'm on time

And I wish you were by my side

These are my thoughts from way up high
