like the ice on a lake like the lights on a cake like a newborn snowflake i am above i am above where i belong like the smoke of a fire like a voice in the choir like a bird on a wire i am above i am above where i belong like a stake on your plate like the tax of this state like the will to the faith i am above i am above where i belong like a foot to the shoe like a sun in a view like a hope that just grew i am above i am above where i belong like a crown on a king like a thought to a thing like the leaves in the spring i am above like a fool on a hill and like love when it s real like the wind when it s still i am above i am above where i belong like a foot to the shoe like a sun in a view like a hope that just grew i am above like a promise we keep like our minds when we sleep and like trust when it s deep i am above i am above i am above i am above where i belong
