Apabhraṃśa (Sanskrit: अपभ्रंश,IPA: [əpəbʱrə̃ˈɕə], Prakrit:Avahansa) is a cover term used to refer a number of dialects of various Middle Indo-Aryan languages. These dialects were formed during the transition period of Middle Indo-Aryan languages and Modern Indo-Aryan languages, spanning between the 6th and the 12, 13-15th centuries CE. The term Apabhraṃśa is used by Sanskrit grammarians since Patañjali. Apabhraṃśa in Sanskrit literally means "corrupt" or "non-grammatical language".
Dialects of various Middle Indo-Aryan languages (including Prakrit languages) gradually transformed into Apabhraṃśa dialects which were used until about the 13-15th century. Apabhraṃśas later evolved into Modern Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi-Urdu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Oriya, Punjabi, Konkani and Sinhala. The boundaries of these periods are somewhat hazy, not strictly chronological. The modern northern Indian languages are often considered to have begun to develop a distinct identity around the 11th century, while the Apabhraṃśa dialects were still in use, and became fully distinct by the end of the 12, 13-15th centuries.

I walk along this winding road
Too many voices tell me which way to go
Sometimes this heart gets so confused
I need you Lord to show me
Which path to choose
And I'm longing for that place way up high
Where God's air is sweet and I touch the sky
Way up here I can see the far horizon
All the world before my eyes is clear to see
Way up here where my Father always meets me
On this mountain where he heals me I can rest
Way up here
Rising above this life we know
Leaving the streams of sorrow far down below
I feel the touch of God's loving hand
Restoring me in ways I can't understand
If I fall away his love reaches me
And he brings me back
To the edge of my dreams
Way up here I can see the far horizon
All the world before my eyes is clear to see
Way up here where my Father always meets me
On this mountain where he heals me I can rest
Way up here
No matter where we travel, no need to fear the shadows
My God is there
His light is there to follow
Back to the quiet waters
I know he cares
Way up here I can see the far horizon
All the world before my eyes is clear to see
Way up here where my Father always meets me
On this mountain where he heals me I can rest
Way up here
(chorus repeated)
I walk along this winding road.
Too many voices tell me which way to go.
Sometimes this heart gets so confused.
I need you Lord to show me which path to choose.
I'm longing for that place way up high
where God's air is sweet and I touch the sky.
CHORUS:
Way up here, I can see the far horizon.
All the world before my eyes is clear to see.
Way up here, where my Father always meets me,
On this mountain where He heals me,
I can rest, way up here.
Rising above the life we know,
Leaving the streams of sorrow way down below,
I feel the touch of God's loving hands.
Restoring me in ways I can't understand.
If I fall away, His love reaches me.
And He brings me back to the edge of my dreams.
CHORUS
No matter where we travel, no need to fear the shadows.
My God is there.
His light is there to follow, back to thw quiet waters.
I know He cares.

Roll into your town and I?m walking around
Got some extra time, think I?ll throw some money down
And you follow me around and you?re asking for the time
You're asking what I found, think I?m gonna rob you blind
Maybe it?s the tattoo on my arm that I drew
While I was bored waiting tables in New York
A heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine
I can see your point, I can see your point
And up here, I am who I am
And if you don?t like it then fuck you, man
I?m not a thief and a whore
Please don?t follow me around
Next time I?m shopping in your store
And up here, I?m making you aware
That if you don?t like me, well, I don?t care
I?ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
Well, that?s your problem, man
After I?ve paid, count the money that you made
Then you go to the show, like to be entertained
And I get up on the stage, trained monkey in a cage
And it?s just another day, just another day
And I can see you from my place on the stage
Third row center aisle, hot blond with you, all smiles
And you got another woman but that?s in another town
And you can?t wait 'til this is over
Gonna lay that honey down
And up here, I am who I am
And if you don?t like it then fuck you, man
I?m not a thief and a whore
Please don?t follow me around
Next time I?m shopping in your store
And up here I?m making you aware
That if you don?t like me, well, I don?t care
I?ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
Well, that?s your problem, man
And your good values taught you how to behave
Who to treat kindly and who to enslave
And like all good men, you still fall to the floor
When a great big rack and a ripe round ass
Walk through that door
And up here, I am who I am
And if you don?t like it then fuck you, man
I?m not a thief and a whore
Please don?t follow me around
Next time I?m shopping in your store
And up here I?m making you aware
That if you don?t like me, well, I don?t care
I?ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
I’m living just next to a woman
I hardly know
And downstairs they don’t even know
I’m living up here
I’m listening to voices and noises
Through walls thin as tin
I never did see through their faces
Or where they have been
I think it’s a teacher
Whose name’s on the opposite door
And someone from Turkey is living
On the opposite floor
A man from Sri Lanka
Has just made his entry today
He told me his wife and his kids
Are not too far away
Chorus
I’m just pretending that life’s never ending
Up here, up here
I’m walking and talking and
Dreaming and screaming
Up here, up here
I’ve promised myself and
my friends
That I’m soon moving out
I’ve said it to I don’t know who
And I’ve said it quite loud
But honestly speaking,
I’m not being deeply sincere
In five years from know
I probably still live up here
Chorus
I’m just pretending that life’ s never ending
Up here, up here
I’m walking and talking and
Dreaming and screaming
Up here, up here
Just like a grumpy and lonely
Old zombie
Up here, up here
But we’re just pretending that life’s never ending
Up here, up here
Up here, up here
Little boy peddles his way
Through the tallest grass he can find today says
I can be taller than the tallest tree
If I can only find my way through this place
Little boy it catches his eye
As it floats off up into the sky says
Wonder when it will come down again
So I’ll climb on up that tree and pull it down for me
Yeah but the view from up here is so very very clear
And I’ll feel the fresh air
Wondering if life could be made for just you and me
Don’t be so greedy
Yeah
A man says hi as he walks on by
And asks what it’s like to touch the sky said
It’s kinda strange cus’ it feels just like another day
So I’ll climb on down this tree and go back to being me
Yeah but the view from up here is so very very clear
And I’ll feel the fresh air
Wondering if life could be made for just you and me
Don’t be so greedy
Yeah
And you take it all in like some greedy little thing
And you say your prayers, but they leave you without a care
Don’t you see, it’s not you and me
But a world to share
[Chorus:]
I'll be chillin in the sky all day.
Floating with the clouds as I make my way to the top.
[Verse 1: Trademark Da Skydiver]
Yeah, I just smoked me a fresh one.
Trademark Da Skydiver higher than a jet son.
Smokin' on that killer, blown smoke in your di-rection.
Buds by the pound, hella bitches in are section.
We just blew it down and we haven't even started the session.
Can we smoke in here?
You know that even a question.
She didn't get the message that she fuckin with the freshest.
Villain to ever spit it I'm killin these sucker niggas, I put that on my 11's.
I'm high, ain't nothin they can tell em.
Money on my mind, you know I'm about my chedda, fella, you know I get better.
That's how I stay ahead of them, cause they ain't fuckin with us.
Planes and champagne on my schedule, federal revenue is what I'm ahead too.
Smokin on medical, that's how I stay ahead and you, jet set, we the freshest crew let us do what we came to do.
[Chorus: x2]
I'll be chillin in the sky all day.
Floating with the clouds as I make my way to the top.
[Verse 2: Trademark Da Skydiver]
You know what it is; I'm a jet set veteran.
Kush is my prescription, lungs full of medicine.
Still spit fire and? nigga better than, what I am.
I'm many light years ahead of them.
You should fuck with me instead of tryin to get next to them.
But I ain't trippin, I am about to be exitten.
Bout to go somewhere up there, where you ain't never been.
[Chorus: x2]
I'll be chillin in the sky all day.
