I've got every reason to be high
I've got a place in the heaven beyond
I've got dreams to live and I've got love to give
And I know it in my heart and soul where we will be goingWell, I lay me down to the northern sky
I wake up with the light of the sun
And the savage beast will surely die
In the Bethlehem far below where we will be goingOh, I've got the gold and I've got the silver
Oh, and I've got a place to call my ownIt's a way of living forever
It's a way of living the dream
It's a way of living the whole life
Come down to the river
Come down to the seaI remember footsteps on the moon
After Dallas darkened days
When the whole world seemed to stop and look
And they ask themselves everyday, where are we going?But the Bowman turned and carried on
HAL prepared for childhood's end
And it came out of dark and wintry skies
On a terrible December night in New York CityOh, hey John, are you out there listening?
Oh, way across the universeIt's a way of living forever
It's a way of living the dream
It's a way of living the whole life
Come down to the river
Come down to the seaOh, ay, oh, oh, ay, oh, oh, ay, oh
Come down to the river
Come down to the seaI've got every reason to be high
I've got a place in the heaven beyond
I've got dreams to live and I've got love to give
And I know it in my heart and soul, where we will be goingWhere we will be going
Where we will be going
