sitting on the roof of the world

i climbed a mountain

not knowing that i had

thought it was just a road from a to b

i took no protection

not much of anything

just went as i was

looking in windows

and playing songs

and knocking on doors

i was not scared

i just enjoyed the sights

kept myself to myself

there i was

sitting on the roof of the world

there i was

there i was

not knowing how i got there

or how to leave

everyone says i was lucky to have got there

as not many can

but truth be told i was saved

by the love

of a good man

who came and got me

and brought me down

from on up there

i'd be lying if i didn't say

i missed it now and then

but i have no wish to go back there

there i was

sitting on the roof of the world

there i was

with all the gods

not knowing how i got there

or how to leave

people say

what's so special about being back here

with everyone so close

but that's the point

i don't want to be different

i just want to fit in

there i was

there i was

sitting on the roof of the world

there i was

with all the gods

not knowing how i got there

or how to leave

not knowing how i got there

or how to leave

not knowing how i got there

or how to leave
