00:00When I was just a lad, with dreams to the sky

00:18Climb an eye with my chainsaw, feelin' so alive

00:23Workin' as a tree lopper, yeah that was my scene

00:29Scalin' seventy feet in the afternoon sheen

00:32With heel spikes grippin' out of sand with pride

00:36But danger loomed high in those branches wide

00:43Oh the wind was a whisper, the world felt so free

00:49But I was just a heartbeat from a wild mishap spree

00:54Chainsaw in my hands, cuttin' close to the breeze

01:01Up in the trees, oh up in the trees

01:07Made the cut at the top, felt the pull of the wood

01:12The treetop came crashing, it's something I understood

01:18Swung back in a fury, it shattered my climb

01:24Pulled me by the belt, oh I lost track of time

01:27Face smashed by the timber, my fingers were sore

01:30Hanging upside down, couldn't take it no more

01:34Oh the wind was a whisper, the world felt so free

01:40But I was just a heartbeat from a wild mishap spree

01:46Chainsaw in my hands, cuttin' close to the breeze

01:52Up in the trees, up in the trees

01:59Made the cut at the top, felt the pull of the wood

02:04The treetop came crashing, it's something I understood

02:10Swung back in a fury, it shattered my climb

02:15Pulled me by the belt, oh I lost track of time

02:18Face smashed by the timber, my fingers were sore

02:21Hanging upside down, couldn't take it no more

02:26Oh the wind was a whisper, the world felt so free

02:32But I was just a heartbeat from a wild mishap spree

02:38Chainsaw in my hands, cuttin' close to the breeze

02:45Up in the trees, up in the trees

02:50And as the shock wore off, I found my way down

02:56With each careful inch, I was safe on the ground

03:02Lessons learned in the sky, the heights I could reach

03:09Nature's power is fierce, that's what she'd teach

03:15Now I look back and smile, at that wild teenage scene

03:21The climb in the fall, living out a dream

03:27With scars on my hands, and the thrill in my heart

03:34Every tree tells a story, a work of art

03:40Oh the wind was a whisper, the world felt so free

03:46But I was just a heartbeat from a wild mishap spree

03:52Chainsaw in my hands, cuttin' close to the breeze

03:58Up in the trees, up in the trees

04:05So if you climb in those heights, keep your wits in the game

04:11Respect the trees around you, they're never the same

04:17With every great essence, tread lightly, be wise

04:23But nature holds stories, that reach for the skies

04:28You'll find its stories, that reach for the skies

04:32And as the nearer's obras of art

04:36It was a dream of qualities in the sky

04:39To the sky and to the independentート

04:58You
