[Verse 1] I went to the place where they rolled away the stone Heavy hey ya Heavy hey ya I looked to the sky that was all alone Heavy hey ya Heavy hey ya [Chorus] Blues and greens illuminate the scene Step inside and take a look around And tell me what you see Do you believe? [Verse 2] I went to the place where the legends played Heavy hey ya Heavy hey ya I thought about how much their burdens weighed Heavy hey ya Heavy hey ya [Bridge] There is a cool stream running through my dream And I awake and chase my mind through hell There is a mountain lake where my daddy used to take us But I guess it's under a thousand feet of snow [Verse 3] I went to the city on my daddie's dime Heavy hey ya Heavy hey ya I'd like to go back home but I'd never have the time Heavy hey ya Heavy hey ya [Chorus]
