Won't you look up at the skyline   At the mortar, block, and glass   And check out the reflections in my eyes   See they always used to be there   Even when this all was grass   And I sang and danced about a high-rise   And you were laughing at my helmet hat   Laughing at my torch      Go ahead you can laugh all you want   I got my philosophy   (Keeps my feet on the ground)   And I trust it like the ground   That's why my philosophy   Keeps me walking when I'm falling down      I see that there is evil   And I know that there is good   And the in-betweens I never understood   Won't you look at me I'm crazy   But I get the job done   I'm crazy but I get the job done      I say go ahead and laugh all you want   But I got my philosophy   (Keeps my feet on the ground)   And I trust like the ground   That's why my philosophy   Keeps me walking when I'm falling down      I pushed you cause I loved you guys   I didn't realize you weren't having fun   And I dragged you up the stairs   And I told you to fly   You were flapping your arms   Then you started to cry, you were too high   Too high....      Now you take this all for granted   You take the mortar, block, and glass   And you forget the speech that moved the stone   But it's really not that you can't see   The forest from the trees      You've never been out in the woods alone   So you can laugh all you want to   I've got my philosophy   (It keeps my feet on the ground)   And I love you you're my friend   But you got no philosophy   Now it's time for this song to end
