This world, a stage of the absurd, where hands grasp at air,
The nightingale crows at the dawn, let's cast off all care!
This world, a game, a fleeting show, a tongue twisted and strange,
A flurry of noise and a fleeting hush, let's cast off and change!
Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, let's lift it high!
Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, beneath the sky!
Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, let the spirit fly!

This world, a restless mystic, a monkey perched above,
Thinking itself a conqueror, let's lift up our love!
This world, a dance for all to see, men and women entwined,
Why be a beggar in this feast? Let's leave the world behind!
Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, let's lift it high!
Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, beneath the sky!
Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, let the spirit fly!

Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, let's lift it high!

Let's lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it, let the spirit fly!
