lyrics version 1
High, riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
Riding high
Riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep reaching through the mist
Melting fire with snow
Watching changes in the world below
Bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba bap ba
Ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap bap
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
High, riding high [x4]
High, riding
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
Riding high
Riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep reaching through the mist
Melting fire with snow
Watching changes in the world below
Bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba bap ba
Ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap ba ba ba bap bap
I keep looking through the cloud
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine
High, riding high [x4]

I'm riding high
On a trip in a ship through the sky
I keep looking through the clouds
Everything seems fine
Everything I'll ever want is mine

Melting fire with snow

Everything I'll ever want is mine
