Lyrics
Over There
Music and Lyrics © 1996 Paul R Anderson; Recording ©℗ 2021 Also Paul Publishing
Here on Wannabe Mountain the sky is not so blue.
And the trees and the flowers aren’t doing so well
`Cuz they all forgot how to smile.
But from here they can see way across the valley
To another mountain called Willaby.
It’s a beautiful place with wide-open spaces
But it seems so far, so far from here.
(instrumental interlude)
Willyum and Wadoo, you are best friends (tom-tom hits)
Living here on Wannabe Mountain,
But you want to be Over There.
Over on Willaby Mountain where the skies are clear
The trees are green throughout the year.
On Willaby Mountain it all seems so clear
You should go on a journey Over There.
(instrumental interlude)
Oh, Willyum and Wadoo it all seems so clear
You should go on a journey Over There.
