Cloud Nine

歌詞

Childhood part of my life it wasn't very pretty You see I was born and raised in the slums of the city It was a one room shack that slept ten other children besides me We hardly had enough food or room to sleep It was hard times Needed something to ease my troubled mind Listen my father didn't know the meaning of work He disrespected mama and treated us like dirt I left home seekin' a job that I never did find Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine Listen one more time I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine Folks down there tell me They say 'give yourself a chance son don't let life pass you by But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive It's a dog eat dog world and that ain't no lie Listen it ain't even safe no more to walk the streets at night I'm doin' fine on cloud nine Let me tell you about cloud nine Cloud nine you can be what you wanna be (cloud nine) you ain't got no responsibility And ev'ry man ev'ry man is free (cloud nine) and you're a million miles from reality I wanna say I love the life I live And I'm gonna live the life I love up here on cloud nine I'm riding high On cloud nine you're as free as a bird in flight (cloud nine) there's no diff'rence between day and night (cloud nine) it's a world of love and harmony (cloud nine) you're a million miles from reality Cloud nine you can be what you wanna be Cloud nine you ain't got no responsibility And ev'ry man ev'ry man is free (cloud nine) and you're a million miles from reality (cloud nine)
