What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty
2
You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city
3
It was a one-room shack we slept in, the children beside me
4
We hardly had enough food or rooms
5
It was a hard time
6
Needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind.
7
Ooooh listen
8
Father didn't know the meaning of work
9
He disrespected Mama and treated her slightly
10
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find
11
The first thing, downhearted, I took to Cloud 9
12
I'm doin' fine up here on Cloud 9
13
Listen, one more time
14
I'm doin' fine up here on Cloud 9
15
Folks now tell me
16
They say, "Give yourself a chance
17
And don't let life pass you by."
18
But the world around you is a rat race
19
Where only the strong survive
20
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie
21
It ain't even safe no more
22
To walk the streets at night
23
I'm doin' fine on Cloud 9
24
Let me tell you about Cloud 9
25
(Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be
26
(Cloud 9) You ain't got no responsibility
27
(Cloud 9) Yeah, every man, every man is free
28
(Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality
29
(Reality) I wanna say (up) higher (up up and away)
30
Cloud 9
31
I wanna say I love the life I live
32
And I'm gonna live the life I love
33
Up here on Cloud 9
34
Uh uh uh uh, I'm ridin' high on Cloud 9
35
You're as free as a bird in flight
36
(Cloud 9) There's no diff'rence 'tween day and night
37
(Cloud 9) It's a world of love and harmony
38
(Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality
39
(Reality) I wanna say (up) higher (up up and away)
40
(Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be
41
(Cloud 9) You ain't got no responsibility
42
(Cloud 9) Every man in his mind is free
43
(Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality
44
(Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be...
