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
