Sometimes I feel like I'm just walkin' around
With my head with up in the clouds
I'm steady movin' but I'm not gainin' ground
Headin' the wrong way in a crowd

Then I remember I'm not part of this world
I'm movin' higher each day
Upward mobility sounds mighty good to me
And I just can't wait to get way, yeah

I got to remember I'm not here to say
I'm looking forward to a brighter day
I got to remember I'm not here for long
I'm just livin' in my temporary home

When you are bothered by the problems of life
Don't you let 'em get you down
Just look to Jesus, you will not be denied
He'll move you up to higher ground

Don't you forget, you're a child of the King
That you're an heir to His throne
You may not know just when
He's coming back again
To take us to our happy home, y'all
I got to remember I'm not here to say
I'm looking forward to a brighter day
I got to remember I'm not here for long
I'm just livin' in my temporary home

Oh, I got to remember I'm not here to say
I'm looking forward to a brighter day
I got to remember I'm not here for long
I'm just livin' in my temporary home
