Up in the Clouds - Blueprint, RJD2

Look at you now, in the air, off the ground

Don’t look down, eyes ahead, up in the clouds

Look at you now, in the air, off the ground

Don’t look down, eyes ahead, up in the clouds

Up in the clouds…

The bright lights and the sun’s glare

Feel like he hadn’t seen it in a whole year

Looked to his right and saw a wheelchair

But he had no idea what it was doing there

Sluggish and drugged from god knows what

With machines and colostomy bags up to his gut

Body so stiff he want to stand

But he realized that he couldn’t feel his legs

Looked to his right and saw his mom’s there

She smiled back, shed a tear

Reached out, then held his hand

He saw her do it but he couldn’t feel a thing

Physically numb, but he felt fear

Funny how this one time tough guy was now scared

The doctor calmly made him aware

That he’d been in a coma for a whole year

Car accident on New Year’s

He was designated driver for a few friends

Who needed a ride after a few beers

But he hadn’t had a drink in a few years

They was almost home when he got clipped

Spun out of control then the car flipped

Now all he could do was sob with his mom

Said the other kid with him came home fine

Been about three years since that event

Been picking up the pieces ever since

Nobody expects him to walk again

Ride a bike, stand, or play ball again

But he about to show them what’s up

Went from a wheelchair to a walker in nine months

To a walker to learning how to stand up

And today he takes his first steps

First steps

First steps

Look at you now, in the air, off the ground

Don’t look down, eyes ahead, up in the clouds

Look at you now, in the air, off the ground

Don’t look down, eyes ahead, up in the clouds

Up in the clouds…
