Departure
Elevate Love: Embracing Life's Peaks with Michael Johnson
Lyrics
Hey let's go up on the mountain tonight
Proposing the idea of going to the mountain tonight.
And be lovers out under the stars
Suggesting a romantic evening under the stars.
From up there the freeways
Describing the city lights from the mountain as rivers of light.
Are rivers of light
Depicting the city lights as if they were precious gems on cars.
With diamonds and rubies for cars
Emphasizing the beauty and allure of the city lights.
And the city is spread like
Comparing the city's layout to a net at one's feet.
A net at your feet
Highlighting the city's ability to capture falling stars.
Catching the stars as they fall
Suggesting that the city can capture and preserve moments of beauty.
And all of the things that
Indicating that troubles and stress won't matter from the mountain's perspective.
Are driving you crazy
Referring to the challenges that may be causing stress.
Won't really matter at all
Implying that those challenges are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Hey let's go up on the mountain tonight
Repeating the suggestion to go to the mountain.
You can bring all your memories along
Encouraging bringing positive memories to the mountain.
We'll take all the very best
Committing to preserving the best moments in a song.
Times of our lives set them down into a song
Emphasizing the importance of cherished memories.
And we'll stand on a
Describing standing on a peak overlooking the world.
Peak overlooking the world
Expressing a desire to sing loudly from the mountain.
And sing it as loud as we can
Committing to sharing the joy with the world below.
Not one of the millions below us will hear it
Acknowledging that those below may not hear the song.
But won't the elation be grand
Highlighting the anticipated elation despite potential obscurity.
And we'll catch us a ride on
Expressing a desire to ride on the wings of an angel.
The wings of an angel
Imagining flying close to the ground with angelic guidance.
Flying too close to the ground
Contemplating the possibility of never coming down from such a transcendent experience.
And if she is flying away to forever
Suggesting a journey towards eternity or an everlasting experience.
Maybe we'll never come down
Speculating on the idea of remaining in a state of transcendence.
