I've Got You

Simply made of rope and wood
Tied to a tree, tight and good,
Sit right down on the edge of my seat
Hang on, then push back with your feet

Lift your shoes off of the dirt
Please, just once, what can it hurt,
That branch is thick, my knots, strong
I have been waiting for this, o, so long

I've got you as out you swing
Feel the air, let go of everything, 
Feel like a kid again, let your hair fly
Kick your legs, unafraid to go high

Swing up and almost feel yourself fall
Just remember, I've got you and all,
Smile, even laugh, feel your heart pump
Let go of the ropes, as off you jump.

I love this one. I loved to swing as a child. I guess it was the first traveling I had ever done.
