Each time you get up,
You know you’ll fall.
You can’t get away.
Each time you fall,
You know you’ll get back up.
Tit’s only natural to pull away,
To get away from your fears
The feeling you get can never compare
You can only get them from the air
The feeling that you just don’t care
About the world you can live here
And they can live there
But this feeling can’t last
It seems like forever, but it’s only brief
Nothing can stop you, not even their belief.
That all will end in hurt,
When you, too, know it’s true.
But what they don’t know,
That you wait for it,
For it to come and take you in.
But it never lasts
It stays in the past
Only in the air
The higher you go,
The less it hurts.
Until you fall back down the earth.
The pain gets worse,
The fear runs deeper.
The only cure
Is to get higher,
Faster,
And longer,
Until you can’t run anymore.
You’ll only be sore

If you let it come
Sao never slow down
And never be done.
Your life depends on height.
So go big, or not at all.
Aim for the moon.
She will always guide you
To happiness below.
For when you’re not up high,
Just look to the sky
And know she’s there for you.
