As described by Ryan Met...
[Verse 1]
Oh father, father, I'm a dreamer (a dreamer)
We dream of green, but now we're gray
Up on a hill, down by the river
That river took my girl away
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons
Now I'm off the floor
So here I go
[Chorus]
I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky
[Post-Chorus]
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
[Verse 2]
Oh, Cleopatra was a lover
But this world of mine is turning green
I'm sailing by the clouds above her
I'm finding out what all this means
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go
[Chorus]
I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky
[Bridge]
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go
[Chorus]
I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky
[Outro]
My calling, my calling
My calling, my calling
