A New Point of View

I went a-sailing just the other day
Up in a big, hot air balloon
I thought I'd take some time and get away
Take a lap around the moon
I got to thinkin' 'bout the way we live
And why we do the things we do
And while I watched the world from way up high
I saw it from a Heavenly point of view
I got a new point of view
From way up here I can't tell you who is who
The make or model of the cars
Just tiny houses line the tiny streets
With tiny pools in tiny yards
They take a lot of time and energy
For the amount ofjoy they bring
It seems a shame to go and waste a life
On such tiny, tiny things
We spend our lives pursuing earthly pleasures
Just chasin' dreams that fade away
Let's set our sights on the eternal treasures
Where moth and rust do not decay

I learned a lesson just the other day
Up in a big, hot air balloon
Say, maybe you should try to get away
And spend a thoughtful afternoon
