I'd Rather Be Here

I'D RATHER BE HERE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

STANDING ON A MOUNTAIN WAY UP HIGH

THINKING ABOUT MY LIFE

BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO CRY

ALL THIS BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS ME

GOES RIGHT INSIDE ME

PEACEFUL INSIDE. FREE TO RIDE

AND DO MY OWN THING

COME WHAT MAY, COME WHAT LIFE WILL BRING

I'M JUST THE SAME OLD ME

AND EVERY CHANCE I GET  I SHUN SOCIETY

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR AFTERNOON TEA

APPOINTMENTS AT THREE

I DON'T WANT TO BE THERE

NO THAT'S NOT ME

MIDNIGHT COMES CREEPING

I'M STILL DREAMING INTO THE FIRE

INTO THE STARS

AND THE HEAVEN'S SHOOK ME LOOSE

AND CLOSED MY EYES

AND FIXED ME WITH A DREAM

I DON'T QUITE FIT IN

WITH PEOPLE THAT MAKE

LIVING A SIN

WORLD AWAY I'VE GOT TO SAY

I'D RATHER BE HERE

IN THE TALL TREES

IN THE MOUNTAINS

 THAT'S WHAT FREEDOM MEANS TO ME 

I SLEEP IN PEACE UNTIL THE SUNRISE

COMES TO FIND ME

SOME NEW CHALLENGE FOR A NEW DAY

I'LL TRY MY BEST TO FIND A WAY

AND FREEDOM FLEW LIKE A FLAG

IN THE MOUNTAIN BREEZE

FALLS LIKE RAIN

I GET MY FILL AND I'M NEW AGAIN

I JUST KEEP GOING

NO SENSE DWELLING ON THE END

I'M SURE IT WILL FIND ME

IT KNOWS WHERE I AM

THE PEACE, THE SOLITUDE

THE BEAUTY UNFOLDS

NO CHEATING, NO DECEPTION, NO LIES

FLOWER FILLED MEADOWS

STANDING IN THE SUN

EMERALD LAKE LIKE A JEWEL

HOT SPRING POOL

ALL I NEED TO FEED MY SOUL
