World Up Above

We are down on the ground
Our feet are down on the ground
Our minds never reach the sky
They too, are on the ground

We have tried to reach the world up above
Rockets, airplanes, helicopters
They would never have reached it
They too, are on the ground

What no one truly understands
Is that the world up above
Isn't in the sky
It is merely in our minds
