The Tower in the sky

I built a tower in the sky to see the whole world before I die,
I built a tower in the sky to understand where the center of the universe lies
I built a tower in the sky to understand what lies beyond the skies.
I will move from country to country and examine the human geography
I will explore age old civilization and study the activities of ancient man
I will study the inscription on the caves wall and learn why some people are so tall
I will observe every dot and connect them to her majesty frock. There is a tower in the 
sky and I would like to get there before the world starts to fly.
Instructions were left for modern men to follow but they have turned it into human   sorrows. The truth had never been told how mankind came into the world
You have told stories upon stories, and you connect our existence to the human glory.
I want to climb the tower in the sky to learn about the elements before I die.
The truth has never been told how the dinosaur plunders the world
And sacrifice women to beast and the people didn’t have a place to sleep
They hang out in the bushes and live in caves like nomad until nature delivers
I built a tower in the sky to learn about the world before I die, but you took away my 
tower pass and sold it to the bush doctor then you try to destroy my anchor to construct
Your own tower. The tower is high and it keeps elevating in sky, I have to go up there 
for I must get my share. The tower is me; the tower is you and you must humble yourself 
and the world will honor you. The tower is my legacy, and I am sorry if I offended anybody 
but I will keep climbing the tower until the universe surrenders. 
The tower in the sky is watching you, open your heart and your dream will come true.
