Once Upon a Parachute


Chute, Shoot!

Where's life taking me?

Above, below, I'm not even half of what I could be...

Their expectations rise above the cloth pulling me slowly

Dragged down by the weight up all those below me

 

Hot hot hot, my motivation is on fire

Up up up I want to go, why can't I get any higher?

 

Oh wait, the strap's in my hands

It's really up to me

Pull the cord and down I go

Down into the sea

 

Or up, up, up to my dreams

Oh wait, the strap's in my hands

It's really up to me.
