[Intro] When you were a child I was a child When we were born We took a breath And we learned As children we danced and played and lived We were taught by others who danced and played and lived [Verse 1] Then one day They told us to pick up a sword We fought them We won And we buried them in the dirt Now we're sitting on a throne of wealth and power The riches of the Earth have become our tower We hold in our hand the wisdom of the stars There's nothing left to do but travel near and far We may as well just make peace with one another Since all there is left to do is make more lovers [Pre-Chorus] We've climbed so high We can only go up from here We've climbed so high We can only go up from here [Chorus] The only way is up from here The only way is up from here The only way is up from here The only way is up from here The only way is up from here The only way is up from here The only way is up from here The only way is up from here [Verse 2] When you are a child I am a child When you are born You take a breath And you learn As children you dance and play and live You are taught by others who dance and play and live [Pre-Chorus] We've climbed so high We can only go up from here We've climbed so high We can only go up from here
