Red Balloon
I want to reflect on this moment.
As midnight passes me by.
At one moment you feel useless and the next a helium high.
You rise up and hit the sealing and you wish you were on the ground.
Tied to the wrist of a child, the feeling of being safe and sound.
Then the world is your oyster.
As long as you stay in the shade.
As life takes it's hold on your body, you feel your childhood slip away. Time is only a number, but you know your starting to deflate.
Running doesn't solve problems.
So I face them every day.
Then one day I'll get older, and I'll realize I'm doing it wrong.
but what is really a fiddle, if it can't even play a love song.
My little Red Balloon.
Wont you please stay.
In my hands is your leash,
but I know you want to stray.
I'll give you out to the world.
Just promise me you will fly.
I cut off all your ribbon.
So that trees don't grab the tie.
Oh my sweet floating object.
I'll never see you again.
The wind will carry you always.
As long as you believe that it can.
I Wave goodbye to the sunset.
Cause you have already disappeared.
You've been freed from my grasp so quickly, that all I have left are tears.
I've lost something I loved.
Though,
I know that feeling will pass.
Cause my mother is going shopping,
and the store sells helium gas.
