Revision as of 20:15, 25 April 2010


Up There is a song in the film, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut which was sung during the period when Satan wishes he could go up to the surface world. It is among the more dramatic and sorrowful songs of the film; while most of the songs are upbeat and comical, this song contains sad, dramatic lyrics and a slow sad tune, while focusing on the inner struggle of a main character, as opposed to the other songs which usually focus on a character's personal prejudices.

The song is later reprised during the film's medley.

Lyrics

Sometimes I think, when I look up real high
That there is such a big world up there
I'd like to give it a try.
But then I sink, cuz it is here I'm supposed to stay.
But I get so lonely down here, tell me why's it have to be that way?

Up there,
there is so much room,
where babies burp and flowers bloom.
Everyone dreams, I can dream too.
Up there, up where the skies are ocean blue.
I can be safe and live without a care,
up there

They say I don't belong
I must stay below alone.
Because of my beliefs I'm supposed to stay where evil is sown
But what is evil anyway?
is there reason to the rhyme?
Without evil there can be no good,
So it must be good to be evil sometimes.

Up there,
there is so much room,
where babies burp and flowers bloom.
Everyone dreams, I can dream too.
Up there, up where the skies are ocean blue.
I can be safe and live without a care
live without a care
If only I coud live up there.
I wanna live
I wanna live up there
Ooh baby, ooh
I want to live up there.
