Karaoké The View From Here Spirited (Octavia Spencer)

The big corner office

The twelve person team

A slick leather chair

The American dream

My mom used to clean ritzy places like these

With their overpriced art and their walls of degrees

Well now it's all mine with my name on the door

A big fancy desk on the thirty-eighth floor

Look at the girl who did right at the height of a hard-won career

What could surpass giant windows of glass

Framing miles of blue

That's the view from here

That's the view from here

They say Climb the ladder no matter the cost

But nobody tells you how much can get lost

That decent and hopeful young woman you were

Well you wake up one day and you wonder what happened to her

That woman was made to see good in each heart

But now she gets paid to pull people apart

And I mean hey

Look at me

MVP employee of the year

Well maybe I guess that this looks like success

But it doesn't feel true

That's the view from here

That's the view from here

I could keep doing oppo

Keep digging up dirt

Pretend I don't care when nice people get hurt

Block out the guilt that I'd have to ignore for a raise as I rise to the thirty-ninth floor

Or I could walk out this door and defiantly quit

There's a line you can't cross and I think this is it

Or maybe I haven't lost sight of what's right

No it's perfectly clear

At the end of the day words are easy to say

But it looks like the walking away is a little bit harder to do

That's the view from here
