Switzerland

Looking out the foggy window of the train it seemed insane,

The rain was comin' down so fast it couldn't make it in the drains

And all the roads had turned to rivers and the stairs to waterfalls.

The buildings in Zurich had great graffiti on their walls

We only saw it for a second when the lightning bolts would strike

The city lost its power; there was a monster in the sky blocking out the sunlight

It was hard to tell whether it was day or night

When our train pulled into the station, we were happy just to be alive

We had made it on time and the storm had surrendered

We set up our tent in the victorious sunlight

We walked into town and we looked around

We stared through the windows at Swiss army knives

We were in a deep valley in the middle of two lakes

With mighty mystic mountains rising up on each side

And we slept that night and we dreamed about the climb that we were gonna make

Life's not about the stuff that you have; it's more about the chances you take

We bought two cans of beans, one for you and one for me,

A bag of peanuts too then we laced up our boots

We hiked up the hills passing ponies on the way

Stoppin', reachin' through the fence to feed them some hay

The trees grew so thick that we couldn't see their tops

As we twisted like the roots through the rocks and the moss

Coming down around the corner came a herd of baby lambs

I swear I took at least a hundred pictures of them

When we made it out of the trees and back into the light

We could see we were gettin' pretty close to the sky

Under our feet perfect blue, pink, and white

Were the smallest, sweetest edelweiss

And Gandalf would have been a great guide

As the trail we were trusting hugged the mountainside

Deep down below in the ice and the snow

The river cut a gorge through the rock like a knife

And we could see the spot where the giant pushed is feet into the stone

And kept the mountain from fallin', saving the village below

And the crows came to say hello

They laughed at you and me; they said we were way too slow

The crows, without effort, sank and rose

They laughed at you and me

They sang that we should have flown

Up at the top we had to stop because there was nowhere left to go

So we ate our beans and we shared our nuts with those big black braggin' crows

We smashed our cans, put on our packs, and started back on our way home

I like goin' up better than comin' down but everything comes back down, you know

The sun will melt away the snow, the rivers will flow, the crows will sing together and alone

This whole world is our home. Make this world your home.
