I got an extra glimpse   Of the truth today   Staring at my breakfast   When I thought I heard it say      Fighting is no good   Success, an empty lie   The treasure hunt is lonely   Until you realize      We came to take it up   We came to take it up, we came to take it up   We came to raise it up   We came to take it up, we came to move it up      I promise you miss   I will do my best today   But somebody keep trying to make me   Trying to make me lose my way      But I believe, oh, my darling   I believe in you   And I hope when you hear this   You'll remember what we were sent to do      We came to take it up   We came to take it up, we came to take it up   We came to move it up   We came to raise it up, we came to praise it up      I came to take you up   You came to take me up   We came to take us up   Take me up, take me up      We came to take it up      Speeding out of the town   I thought I'd lost my way   'Til I saw the green and ebony   Come a-wondering about their pay      Well, I've got the money   If you've still got the friends   We can really put this world to right   Or sit and watch the end, you know      We gonna take it up   We gonna move it up   We gonna take it up   We gonna take it up      To the very, very top   To the very, very top   To the very, very, very, very, very, very top      To the very very top   To the very very top   To the very very top
