Lyrics

I'm going upfield, way up the hillside
I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore

I dreamed I saw a tree full of angels up on Primrose Hill
And I flew with them over the Great Wen 'til I had seen my fill
Of such poverty and misery sure to tear my soul apart
I've got a socialism of the heart

I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore

The angels asked me how I felt about all I'd seen and heard
That they spoke to me, a pagan, gave me cause to doubt their word
But they laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Will you help us in our art?
You've got a socialism of the heart"

I'm going upfield, way up on the hillside
I'm going higher (up higher) than I've ever been before
That's where you'll find me, over the horizon
Wading in the river, reaching for that other shore
