Judee Sill Things Are Lookin' Up
[Verse 1]
Is it love I'm feeling
Or the moon is smiling down in the balmy night?
Is my mind just reeling
'Cause I'm staring up in awe at the starry sky?
There's an engine humming
And it's purring with a pull that I just can't fight
Like a piston drumming
I can feel my weary heart pumping hope tonight
[Chorus]
And I think things are finally looking up
Things are looking up
And I can't quit grinning since the lightning struck
'Cause the whole world is finally looking up
[Bridge 1]
I would brave the open sea with you
Just to be by your side
I would rise through raging water
Get the bends and have to send for a doctor
[Verse 2]
What a spell I'm under
I've been smiling at the earth way up here on high
Is it any wonder
That my troubles disappeared when I learned to fly?
Down below's a sparrow
And he isn't thinking twice if the Lord is nigh
I received the arrow
And I feel its kindly trust rolling down my eye
[Chorus]
And I think things are finally looking up
Things are looking up
And I can't quit grinning since the lightning struck
Cause the whole world is finally looking up
[Bridge 2]
I would scale the steepest peak with you
Just to be by your side
I would dive through hoops of fire
Or cross Niagara on a real live wire
[Verse 3]
Must be love I'm feeling
'Cause the moon is smiling down in the balmy night
And my mind just reeling
I've been staring up in awe at the starry sky
There's an engine humming
And it's purring with a pull that I just can't fight
Like a piston drumming
I can feel my weary heart pumping full tonight
[Chorus]
And I think things are finally looking up
Things are looking up
And I can't quit grinning since the lightning struck
'Cause the whole world is finally starting to look on up
[Outro]
Things are looking up
Things are finally looking up
Things are looking up
