[Verse 1]
I can hold my breath for a minute or so
Five days without food is as long as I'll go
I didn't sleep once for four days and three nights
I once didn't stop for seven red lights
I jumped into water that's fifty degrees
I rowed in a kayak in thirty-foot seas
I stayed in the woods for a week with a knife
A flint when I lost it nearly cost me my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty years later
I'm still upside down
[Chorus]
And it's a small world, and it's turning real fast (Here upside down)
It's a new day, and the mourning has passed (Turned upside down)
It's a short road, but the mountains are tall (Land upside down)
It's a small world
But we all start out small
[Verse 2]
I hurtle through air though I feel I'm alone
I stick with the others to the skin of the stone
I stop for a stranger just to give him a lift
I cling like a lizard to the side of the cliff
I treat every minute like an hour and then
It seems like a year has just flashed by again
We build a foundation, but where do we stand
When all air is water and all water is land?
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty years later
I'm still upside down
[Chorus]
And it's a small world, and it's turning real fast (Here upside down)
It's a new day, but the mourning has passed (Turned upside down)
It's a short road, but the mountains are tall (Land upside down)
It's a small world
But we all start out small
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Feel it turnin' in circles and you're never the same again
Spin slowly while sounds cascade and became
[Chorus]
(I'm here upside down)
It's a small world, then it's turning real fast (Turned upside down)
It's a new day, but the mourning has passed (Here upside down)
It's a short road, but the mountains are tall (Land upside down)
It's a small world
And we all start out small
[Outro]

All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
Inside this silent scene
All are free, all are free
Second time around
