Michael
First guy: come on Michael!
Now you have to jump
Are you afraid or what?
If you don't jump
One of us you'll be not!
Second guy: come on Michael!
Don't be such a coward
You have a parachute for god's sake!
Be a real man, not one who's fake
Third guy: come on Michael!
Don't waste our time….
This is completely safe
If you want to be a member of the club
You must have the guts to jump
Michael: I don't know if I want to do this
I feel this is going to be a complete mess
Because it frightens me when a crowd….
Claps and cheers
Then afterwards, you're all alone…
In regrets and tears
Though I always wondered what birds feel like?
Does the air feel the same when I ride a bike?
Or is it more like a full speed motorcycle?
Why are they keeping saying….
Come on Michael!!
I don't want to join their club anymore
What is even all of this needed for?
I just want this plane to land
So I can kiss the ground and hug the sand!
I look down and see everything far and small
Even skyscrapers don't look so tall
This seems to be the real size of mankind
Who searches for happiness but will never find
Because he let happiness from his hand slip
It seems we forgot that we're on a trip
And now we just want to stay
But even the biggest sea has a bay
I wish if everybody could see….
The full picture from up here
So they can know how silly and small….
What they fight over and waste lifetime on
Isn't now the time to forget our disputes?
To live together peacefully as brothers
And just to focus on our contributes
It's our duty to make this world better not others'
We seem to be blinded by the fog
That is made of hatred and jealously
It's time to rub our eyes
To see how this world became so filthy
A place of hunger, sickness and war
A place of no mercy
Instead of enjoying our time on earth
We're trying to own it
But it's gonna be nobody's at last
All we're doing is just ruining it
We try to own what was never ours
I hope us to enjoy our left couple hours
Because life for sale was never meant
It is only available for rent!
I have decided to jump!
After realizing that life is short
And as the fellow said I have a parachute
Then what can even go wrong….
More than the world has?!
Now as I see the shining warm sun
I feel that all my fears are gone
It's time to just let go and have some fun
So I'm gonna count from three up to one
