Lyrics
Close To It All
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
While walking though life I would never fall
If I could be close to it all and all
If I could be close to it all.
If I had my dream it would not fall down
If I could live high on the ground
The sound of high is a good one to many around
When they wanna be close to it all
And I wanna be close to it all and all
I wanna be close to it all.
The village suger takers
Madison Avenue pink dream makers
They try to escape from it all
But instead they build walls, that's all
But they wanna be close to it all.
If I had my dream I would fill a hall
And tell all the people tear down the wall
That keeps you from being a part of it all
'Cause they gotta get close to it all.
The village sugar takers
Madison Avenue pink dream makers
They try to escape from it all
But instead they build walls, that's all
But they wanna be close to it all.
There's just one more thing that I wanna to say
Everyone's got there own special way
That keeps them from getting to close to the day
Accept and be part of it all and all
Everyone tear down your own little wall
That keeps you from being a part of it all
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all
And Everyone tear down your own little wall
That keeps you from being a part of it all
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all
You gotta be close to it all.
