Look at this big eyed fish swimmin' in the sea
Oh, how it dreams to be a bird, swoopin',
divin' through the breeze
So one day, caught a big old wave up onto the beach
Now he's, dead you see
Beneath the sea is where a fish should be
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
He turned red, then blue, purple, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded
the man would not concede
And now he's, dead you see
The silly man should know you got to breathe
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
oh, God
but under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side
No way
No way
No way out of here
See the little monkey
Sitting in his monkey tree, one day
Decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now: lost and tired
Livin' in the street
As good as dead, you see
Do what a monkey does, stay up your tree
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
Oh, God
But, under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side
No way
No way
No way
No way out of here
Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
rein in my dreams
rein in my dreams
rein in
brighter on the other side
Oh God
Under the weight of life
rein in my dreams rein
rein in my
no way
no way
no way
no way
