Roof of the World

There's a strong mist blowing off
The walls of an emerald mountain side
I can hear the canyons calling
The soft roar of water falling
The words I know cannot convey
The gravity of this peaceful place
The words I know cannot begin
To capture standing on this continent
On this continent

I'm up on the roof of the world
I'm up on the roof of the world
The clouds are shaking hands
Exchanging compliments
Up on the roof of the world
Up on the roof of the world
I've never felt so small
Looking out across it all

Round and round I amble on
Higher towards Orion's arms
Switchbacks like railroad ties
Criss-cross this terrace of the sky
A patchwork quilt of gold and green
Stretches out as far as I can see
As far as I can see

I'm up on the roof of the world
Up on the roof of the world
The clouds are shaking hands
Exchanging compliments
Up on the roof of the world
Up on the roof of the world
I've never felt so small
Looking out across it all
Across it all

Across it all

I'm up on the roof of the world
Up on the roof of the world
The clouds are shaking hands
Exchanging compliments
Up on the roof of the world
Up on the roof of the world
I've never felt so small
Looking out across it all
