lyrics

When I fly way up high, I'm an eagle on a summer breeze
Closer to heaven, I've never known such peace
And I'm way up high, closer to the sun's glow
I set my sights on Ascension Heights a long time ago
I spent my life looking for the rainbow
I dreamed all night of Ascension Heights

I'm tripping away (home)
I set my sights on Ascension Heights (home)

When I swim across the ocean, I'm a dolphin on a trip away
Leaping for joy, I'm a lost boy who found his way
And I'm way out there, freer than I've ever known
I set my sights on Ascension Heights a long time ago
I spent my life looking for the rainbow
I dreamed all night of Ascension Heights

I'm tripping away (home)
I set my sights on Ascension Heights

I'm tripping away with a higher being
I kneel and pray to the smiling face of the god I'm seeing
I'm slipping away to a higher being
I kneel and pray to the smiling face of the god I believe in

I set my sights on Ascension Heights...

Glorious! This is so lovely. The piano on Teapot Girl with the lyrics and her voice are perfect to me. Exactly what I needed to hear! I regularly find myself now humming Kite String Mantra because it's so catchy, I can't help it. One day I hope to see her do some live shows. She is awesome! Wendy
