Upfield

I'm goin' up field

Way up on the hillside

I'm goin' 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

Should it tear my soul apart

I've got a socialism of the heart

I've got a socialism of the heart

I'm goin' up field

Way up on the hillside

I'm goin' 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 spoken to me, a pagan

Gave me cause to doubt their word

But they laughed and said it doesn't matter

If you help us in our arm

You gotta a socialism of the heart

You gotta a socialism of the heart

I'm goin' up field

Way up on the hillside

I'm goin' 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

Their faces shone and they were gone

And I was left alone

And I walked these ancient empire streets

'til I could tearful to my home

When I woke next morning I vowed to play my part

I got a socialism of the heart

I got a socialism of the heart

That's why

I'm goin' up field

Way up on the hillside

I'm goin' higher

Than I've ever been before

That's where you'll find me

Over the blue horizon

Wading in the river

Reaching for that other shore
