While walking through life I would never fall
C G D G
If I could be close to it all and all
C G D
If I could be close to it all
D C D
If I had my dream, it would not fall down
C G D
If I could live high on the ground
G C G D G
The sound of high is a good one to many around
C G D
When they wanna be close to it all
C G D G
And I wanna be close to it all and all
C G D
I wanna be close to it all____
Bb5/F Asus2 D
The village sugar takers
Bb5/F Asus2 D
Madison Avenue pink dream makers
Bb5/F Asus2 D C
They try to escape from it all
G C D G
But instead, they build walls, that's all
C G D
But they wanna be close to it all
C D
If I had my dream, I would fill a hall
C G D G
And tell all the people, tear down the wall
C G D G
That keeps them from being a part of it all
C G D
'Cause they gotta get close to it all

They try to escape from it all
G C D G
But instead, they build walls, that's all

But they wanna be close to it all
C D
There's just one more thing that I wanna say
C G D G
Everyone has got their own special way
C G D G
That keeps them from getting too close to the day
C G D G
Accept and be part of it all and all
C G D G
Everyone tear down your own little wall
C G D G
That keeps you from being a part of it all
C G D G
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all
C G D G
And everyone tear down your own little wall
C G D G
That keeps you from being a part of it all
C G D G
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all
C G D
You gotta be close to it all_____
