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
