Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A journey that began as adventure becomes harder as seasons change and familiar reasons fade. Looking for answers, the narrator finds companionship and a renewed willingness to let go of what he cannot control. The upward movement of the refrain turns life's continuing road into a shared hope for love, freedom and awakening.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
On Our Way Up To The Sky “This road is getting longer,” I said to no one It started as Adventure Just a way to have some fun Then a change of seasons Clouded out the Sun Shrouded all the reasons I went on the Run (Chorus:) On our way up to the sky We'll be rising, flying high Winds of change will carry us Like Angels passing by We will learn to love again And we will never die No more tears to cry On our way up to the sky I've seen fire on the water Rainbows in the sky I've been to the mountains And I've seen the eagle fly I still look for answers But I think I know why The singers and the dancers Have teardrops in their eyes They can see the majesty We can see it too Just like when you look at me And I'm looking back at you Never knew I'd find you When I woke up today Been ridin’ right behind you All the way (Chorus) We can run but we can't hide We are what we keep inside If you want to be set free You'll let go eventually And the things you thought were broken Rearrange like words unspoken When you think you are forsaken That's the night that you'll awaken This road goes on forever The journey never ends From our mothers and our fathers To our lovers and our friends This life is like a river Rollin’ to the sea In imperfect harmony Here's a song for you and me (Chorus & Out)
