Lyrics
I hear the rup-a-bup-bum
I hear the rhythmic sound of a drum
Of the beating drum
Expressing the presence and beat of a drum
I'll fight on the battlefield
Commitment to fighting on the battlefield
'Til the war is won, war is won
Persistence in the fight until victory is achieved
I hear the hum-a-hum-hum
Noting a humming sound in the voice above
Of the voice above
Acknowledging a guiding voice
I'll fight on the battlefield
Continued commitment to the battlefield
'Til the war is won, war is won
Reiteration of the determination to win the war
Above the clouds, there's hidden sunshine
Describing a hidden positivity above the clouds
Beyond the mountains you'll find it
Encouragement to seek positivity beyond challenges
Oh, we'll fly over valleys on eagles' wings
Imagining soaring over valleys on eagles' wings
And we'll find new horizons
Expectation of discovering new horizons
Oh, when we see the rising sun, the war is won
Linking the rising sun with victory in war
And we'll hear the beating drum
Anticipation of hearing the drumbeat in success
I wish my life was blue
Expressing a desire for a carefree and happy life
Like a summer sky
Comparing life to a blue summer sky
I'm too afraid to show
Reluctance to reveal inner struggles
That it's grey on the inside
Acknowledging emotional turmoil within
All alone I'm stranded on a misted island
Feeling isolated and uncertain in a metaphorical misted island
Is there someone out there who will find me
Seeking connection and rescue
Above the clouds, there's hidden sunshine
Reiteration of hidden positivity above the clouds
Beyond the mountains you'll find it
Encouragement to explore beyond difficulties
Oh, we'll fly over valleys on eagles' wings
Imagining flying over valleys with the strength of eagles' wings
And we'll find new horizons
Hope for discovering new opportunities
Oh, when we see the rising sun, the war is won
Linking victory with witnessing the rising sun
And we'll hear the beating drum
Anticipating the drumbeat as a symbol of triumph
Oh, oh, oh
(Repetition of "Oh")
Oh, we'll fly over valleys on eagles' wings
Repetition of the imagery of flying over valleys
And we'll find new horizons
Reiteration of the hope for discovering new horizons
Oh, when we see the rising sun, the war is won
Restating the connection between the rising sun and victory
And we'll hear the beating drum
Anticipation of hearing the drumbeat as a sign of success
