I got up this morning to go, go, go The ground is still wet from the storm On the surface, it's the same old thing From my perspective it's change, change, change I think I just cracked the code Was rotten, I broke the mold Higher than ever but, no Try to see how high I go Some gon' hate to see you smile They live to see you down They talk while we take off Wheels up, oh, wheels up That heart that's breaking down Then love's gon' come back round Don't let it kick you down Wheels up, oh, wheels up Everything looks better up top and above And decorate it but I hate it enough I'm wearing these shades when they see me up close But I'm a fan of my face they love 'em most I built a house on the clouds Lookin', lookin' down these halls I can see the city now I know where I wanna go Some gon' hate to see you smile They live to see you down They talk while we take off Wheels up, oh, wheels up That heart that's breaking down Then love's gon' come back round Don't let it kick you down Wheels up, oh, wheels up Wheels up, oh, wheels up Wheels up Wheels up, oh, wheels up Don't you let nobody break you down Be a force for life wherever you go It's so rock n' roll, so play it with your soul Keep it moving, never let grass under your feet grow Some gon' hate to see you smile They live to see you down They talk while we take off Wheels up, oh, wheels up That heart that's breaking down Then love's gon' come back round Don't let it kick you down Wheels up, oh, wheels up Some gon' hate to see you smile They live to see you down They talk while we take off Wheels up, oh, wheels up That heart that's breaking down Then love's gonna come back round Don't let it kick you down Wheels up, oh, wheels up Nothing keep you down Oh yeah I'm takin' off, oh, baby I am up on the run I'm takin' off, oh, baby Closer to the sun
