One of the funniest things about life is crying, it's suppose to be a sad feeling that you get when it happens. But then after you're done crying you feel like you have had someone come buy you and take you weight off your shoulders, so smile now.

Close your eyes
Reach up to the sky
Spread your wings to fly
Shall we leave this place and everyone in it

They say all say no
But I say go
The time will come for all to close their eyes and fly up so high

Just for you and me this little patch of heaven
So bright and care free
But for you to me it’s good enough
To be called home
