[Verse 1]
You've got a vision of some far off day
Beautiful and bright
A carrot hanging out of reach
But always in your sight
There's an icon in your mind
That stands for happiness one day
A picture on some wall
Of a kingdom far away

[Chorus]
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's breathing in between
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's right under your feet

[Verse 2]
The sky is much more blue
And the clouds are always white
The streets of course are gold
And always lit with rays of light
There's nothing on this earth
That's as good as what's up there
Life is so much better
When you're floating in the air
[Chorus]
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's breathing in between
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's right under your feet

[Bridge]
Forget about your brother
If he doesn't seem to understand
The heaven you've concocted in your head
Never mind your sister
When she asks you silly questions
About all the broken people left unfed
The burning questions are better left for dead

[Verse 3]
You spend your life inside a box
Looking through stained glass
And dream about a better day
And hope it finds you fast

[Chorus]
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's breathing in between
Oh, it's closer than you think
Oh, it's right under your feet
Oh, it's right under your feet
Oh, it's right under your feet
