Falling Free

Am I in control? Or is this force beyond my grasp? Things slipped out of my hold But didn't expect to fall so fast Wanted to let it go But the problems fell with me, too Wanna stay in the sky If those around me only knew The clouds and moon and stars, I want it all But it's hard to catch in the middle of a free fall Oh I'm falling free, on my own Trying to not look down Prepared to meet what waits below me Bracing myself for ground Trying to keep what strength I have Keep getting told it's not so bad Yeah it's just me, falling free But I guess I gotta stick around Working hard up here But is my hope just senseless? Will I laugh in face of fear? Or am I really defenseless? I can't grab onto air, but can I make A pair of wings to fly and escape my fate Oh I'm falling free, on my own Trying to not look down Prepared to meet what waits below me Bracing myself for ground Trying to keep what strength I have Keep getting told it's not so bad Yeah it's just me, falling free But I guess I gotta stick around Trying to accept my fall But I still want it all Can I save myself from slamming to the ground? Yeah I don't know just where I'm going But I take comfort in knowing I'm bound to find some friends on the way down I'm falling free, on my own Trying to not look down Prepared to meet what waits below me Bracing myself for ground Trying to keep what strength I have Keep getting told it's not so bad Yeah it's just me, falling free But I guess I gotta stick around Oh, falling free Oh, falling free
