Moving on to higher heights C
Leaving them to fuss and fight C
Leave them in the blinding light Bb
'Cause it seems they've lost their sight Bb
Going where the air is clean C
Fulfilling a higher dream C
Everything has got the time Dm
You've got yours and I've got mine Bb
And I see the sun still shine Bb
And I know the world is mine, mine, mine C

Bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye F

Hey... End F
