Swing me high, swing me far
throw me across the clouds
let me touch the north star,
and away from the mundane crowds.

Push me high and let me fly,
let this wind stroke my face,
let me dance across the blue sky,
as my little feet swing with grace.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
