Hold me on a loving leash
When you find yourself floating
Through the sky, without a leash
With the wind, you’re going
Over mountains, trees, and seas
People will point at you: ‘look at her go,’ they’ll say
But when you’re out of sight
It’s time for them to look away
And when you’re still up there
Their days are passing by
Filled with chores, work, love, and laughter
Who is wondering how you’re doing, high up in the sky?
For them, it looks peaceful, nice, and free
As if nothing can bring you down
But all you want is for someone to see
And pull you back to the ground
