lyrics

HOOK:
What will I be
if I keep growing
What will I see
if I keep going
Where will I be
I won’t be slowing down
and how will I get there?
How will I get there?

VERSE 1:
As I'm taking these first steps my legs are shaking on the ground.
I don't know where I am, I better take a look around.
Every sight I see is new to me and so is every sound,
now I gotta figure out which way is up and which is down.

It's a big big world and I'm just a little guy,
but somehow I've got the feeling that someday I'll reach the sky.
It's like somewhere deep inside me's something big and it is I,
and it's telling me if I just spread my wings then I can fly.

HOOK

VERSE 2:
It's the beauty of the world's sounds: zippers, cars and angels,
your Mamma's smile, the way your Dad walked in single file for miles,
held the hand, had the wingspan of an abominable snowman with a watering can.
Every single bird and bee and anemone.
Lyall in the Bay, Island on it's way.
High Hill with parfait. Time to get away
from Monday through to mid-day.

HOOK

VERSE 3:
Some don't understand, missing out on the Promised Land.
Waves on crashed sand till Dad flew to another land
to find out where caprice lives,
some kind of peace is.
Shirts with creases chest pulled to heart
to get your back releases.
Aftertaste. Glaciers in outer-space.
I'm pushing weight.
Toking on nature's fate.
Floating on magma plates.
Remember the love the great-grandma had,
pushing a pram to lay down my head.
Paekakariki, Coromandel and back.
Propaganda from the Panda backpack.

HOOK

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

HOOK

VERSE 4:
Papa where you be?
Rangi cries tears with me.
Kaikoura with red rocks and sky.
In reply: "bye bye".
Heading for vision where minds intermingle
and conversations tingle.
People go to find a new life
where they can live more simple.
Papa where you be?
