Part I - The Search

I'm ready to go now, I'm ready to go
I planned it all for so many years now
I'm ready to go now, I'm ready to go
I will find you at some point
So he goes through the deepest jungles,
highest mountains, coldest gletchers
goes through ground, goes through sky,
goes through clouds, goes though girls.
Goes through gigantic waterfalls, that crush every single bone he has -
makes his brain mush, blood rush in every possible way.
He collects it all back again, heels himself and gains some strength
keeps on walking, falling, running, stumbling, fighting, fighting, fighting!
Fights against the bears that hunt him, fights against the bees that hunt him.
Fights against that stupid little fly that seems to be following him all his trip and keeps getting stuck in his but.
Hu?
He takes it out again eats it mixed with fresh herbal tea
a special recipe, he got from an old, old lady.
Not tmuch time passes he starts hallucinating,
wakes up in a strange place - I guess he ate some wrong leaves...
Suddenly he sees a staircase growing up towards the sky,
can't see the end of it, but he knows he needs to go up there.
So he keeps on walking on, climbing step by step by step,
keeps on going higher, highe, higher, higher, higher.
Higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher...
I can almost touch the sky, can almost feel the stars
can almost take the whole planet in between my hand.
I can feel it now, I'm getting closer -
I can feel it now, I'm almost to the top.
Almost to the top, almost to the top!
Top!
AH

Part II - At the Top

I've made it, I'm finally there
finally there
I'm at the top now, I'm at the top now,
I'm at the top
At the very top now, and I start looking for and searching for you and
I see you,
I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you...
( I can see you on the mountain side,
past the three big waterfalls)
a coma coma commacomcamca
a coma coma commacomcam
a coma coma commacomcamca
a coma coma commacomcam
past the three waterfalls
(a coma coma commacomcamca
a coma coma commacomcam..)
past the three waterfalls
(a coma coma commacomcamca
a coma coma commacomcam..)
past the three waterfalls
past the three waterfalls, past three waterfalls, past the three waterfalls...
I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you, I see you....

I am sending you signals -
can you see them? Can you hear them?
Through the air I'm trying to touch you
It feels like every spark of dust is trying to prevent me
Trying to stop me from getting closer to you
How should I survive? With this feeling
WIth this feeling
of being only half of what I could be and
knowing where to complete myself but not being able to get there
Being held back by the forces of nature
That I will never be able to defeat
They decide, they stay, they are the striongest here
They decide, they stay, they are the striongest here
...
But I will keep trying
But I will keep trying
Yes
I will keep trying
I will keep trying
But I will keep trying
But I will keep trying
Even with knowing, even with knowing that, even with knowing that....
You will never know that I did!
