It's not a song lyric, but I can't resist:

OK, now I feel bad, so I actually do have some song lyrics.

Ardie Collins - Chase the Stratosphere

    You will always long for a time of plastic dinosaurs

    and den in a forest filled with friends

    We do tend to romanticise and no one’s ever found out how to pause, as simple as it was

    Now all they are are thoughts

    And though I am in danger of whimsy of the highest degree, I want to climb a tree

    And we’ll climb hard

    And we’ll climb high

    And we will breathe

    A better sky

    And it will taste

    Of our old dreams

    And it is laced

    With history

    And we will chase

    The stratosphere

    And we will force our way

    Out of here

PS If you dug that TED talk, check out the follow-up from earlier this year. Amazing.
