When the skies were blue,
The grass always green,
Just you and me,
Mom and dad too.
The quiet days,
Careless, problem free,
No worries, days drifting by,
Minuets and hours,
One at a time.
I long for those days,
A few seconds of peace,
Not much to think about,
An empty mind:
Problems far behind.
Fly with me
In my hot air balloon.
Growing up is what I've longed for,
The goal since I was small,
College, a job,
Building my own world,
My dream, a reality.
Why am I so scared?
Want to go back,
Would give everything
To live in a child's world,
Just to catch a glimpse.
I want it to go away:
The problems, ignorance,
Stupidity in the world,
Don't want to know
No need for its existence.
Fly with me
In my hot air balloon.
Give me the clouds,
The chirping birds,
Rustles in the wind,
Laughs and giggles,
Summertime, spring.
Take away the darkness,
Don't show me,
I don't need the tears,
The hatred and immorality,
Take them away!
If you can't,
Let me be there for you,
I really do love you,
More then anything,
Let me protect you.
Fly with me
In my hot air balloon.
You don't know this
Horrible world.
To young to understand,
But talk to me, let me.
Just let me be there for you.
Let's go back to those times,
Freedom and happiness,
Innocence and love,
Without the evils,
Leave corruption behind.
I will hold your hand
If you hold mine.
Side by side, together,
Everything finally
Aligned.
Fly with me
In my hot air balloon.
Soar through the sky,
View the world from above,
Only the beauty of the world below,
The peacefulness and optimism,
Imaginations running wild.
Everything in life is beautiful,
One must view if from the right angle,
And everything will be fine.
In the moment the angle is above,
Far away from the terrors and horrors.
The only escape to the world,
My only way out,
The seconds of joy in my day,
Come with me and I'll show you
Tell you how to fly away.
Fly with me
In my hot air balloon.
You and me,
Finally forgetting it all
Saving us both from insanity.
