My world is upside down
My feet are searching for the ground
My head’s in the clouds
There, way up high
What is this?
Who am I?
Eyes in the sky
Looking for stars
Seeing only clouds
I want to be right side up
But it’s amazing here
Upside down
Nothing here makes sense
Yet everything is right
The daytime becomes the night
Here I never have to fight
Or go searching for the light
Because when I’m upside down
Everything is right
