Live High
Jason Mraz Lyrics

I try to picture the girl
I attempt to visualize the girl

Through a looking glass
Like looking through a mirror

And see her as a carbon atom
As insignificant as a small molecule

See her eyes and stare back at them
I observe her eyes and return the gaze

See that girl
Observe that girl

As her own new world
As her individual, unique world

Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe
Although she is part of a larger community, she is still special and significant on her own

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Mention of a higher power observing from above

Are we all here standing naked
Are we all openly exposed

Taking guesses at the actual date and time
We are guessing about time and death

Oh my, justifying reasons why
Oh my, trying to rationalize our actions

Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
It is a foolish way to live

Live high
Live optimistically

Live mighty
Live confidently

Live righteously
Live morally and with dignity

Takin' it easy
Take it slow and don't stress

And try to picture the man
And also observe the man

To always have an open hand
To always offer help

And see him as a giving tree
See him as someone who keeps on giving

See him as matter
See him as someone who's significant

A matter of fact he's not a beast
He is not cunning or vicious

Oh no not the devil either
He is not the devil

Always a good deed doer
Always doing good deeds

And it's laughter that we're makin' after all
We are laughing and having fun after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
The wild continues to call all of us for a reason

And the order of the primates
The order of the animals remains

All our politics are too late
Our focus on politics is often too late to make a change

Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Oh my, the thoughts that fill my mind

Is this assembly singing of gratitude
Is this the gathering of people who are thankful

Practicing their lovin' for you
Expressing their love and admiration for someone

Let's take it out
Let's end it

And just take it easy
Let's all chill out and relax

And celebrate the malleable reality
And appreciate the dynamic nature of reality

You see nothing is ever as it seems
Things often have hidden aspects or are more complex than they first appear

Yeah this life is but a dream
Life is transient and not permanent

Lift me up to the almighty
Let me be elevated to a higher power

Raise your hands and start acknowledging
Acknowledging the existence of a higher being

If you're living it righteously
If you're leading a morally good life

Then you take the easy way
It becomes easier to get through life

Just, just, take, take, take it easy
Just relax, don't stress

Say live high
To exclaim to live optimistically

Oh, live righteously, hey
Oh, lead a morally good lifestyle

Just take it easy
Just relax, don't stress
