Erase The Lines
Once a pine, in olden times
Not far away from now
He went down to sing about
He gave himself the crown
He said, "I'm tall
And you are small."
To the clover on the ground
So clover spread himself around
And covered pine tree up and down
"This is my side of the mountain
Only you could share its fountain
Only you can sing ???
Would you turn your back around?"
Spotted tiger spotted me
An all white bird with a yellow beak
He stared me down
He wouldn't speak
He let me go, 'cause I was weak
Had I did, did never see
Got perched upon the tallest peak
And all the birds would flock to me
To live in bird-like harmony
This is my side of the mountain!
Only you could share its fountain
We all watch the rising sun
Shining down on everyone!
But if you're bad, then we are bad!
If you're good, then we are good!
We can stick to all like skin and bone
Until we end up all alone!
But o'er this mountain, you can't see
And oh, like a baby, I do believe!
Now it's time to erase the lines!
I'm gonna introduce you to a friend of mine
Sit back and toast to a world so fine
Now it's time to erase the lines
I'm gonna introduce you to a friend of mine
Sit back and toast to a world so fine
Sit back and toast to a world so fine!
