	Story Behind the Song As a boy, I liked to climb up into the tree in my front yard in Skokie, Illinois. After moving to Oregon 15 years ago, I learned to climb trees 200 feet and higher, and I love to just go into a nice stand of trees and spend a day riding in the canopy. The canopy is what you call the sea of green that the treetops form (but you knew that, right?) Lyrics Tree trunks sing like guitar strings Plucked by the wind They call me in Let the dance begin Throw my flip line 'round the bole Now I'm up the tree Hey Ma, Look at me, I'm in the sky again! Riding in the canopy Way up high in a sea of green Looking out at the scenery And the clouds floating in the sky Riding in the canopy Looking out at eternity And the motion of the trees All swaying in the breeze And the sound of the rustling needles Is a lullaby Something 'bout being in the top of a tree Brings back memories How life used to be Back when I was a chimpanzee A million years of evolution down the line And still I climb I guess that I'm Just a leaf on the family tree Riding in the canopy Way up high in a sea of green Looking out at the scenery And the clouds floating in the sky Riding in the canopy Looking out at eternity And the motion of the trees All swaying in the breeze And the sound of the rustling needles Is a lullaby Sitting in the sky watchin' clouds go by They don't mean a thing They're playing "Blue in Green" Life is just a dream Might just reach out and grab a star Heaven's door is ajar And I think I hear an angel callin' me Riding in the canopy Way up high in a sea of green Looking out at the scenery And the clouds floating in the sky Riding in the canopy Looking out at eternity And the motion of the trees All swaying in the breeze And the sound of the rustling needles Is a lullaby
