lyrics

I was born in the clouds,
would never go down
for fear it’d be much too risky.

But oh the children I see
look so much like me
except that they can go fishing or sailing.

When I see what they can do,
I feel so sad and lonely.
But if I were to go there,
do you really think I would be
safe on the ground,
safe on the ground?

Drawing faces and friends
with hands they can lend
in case I’m in need of a favor.

But gone they fade into air.
It just isn’t fair, but at least they can’t hurt me.
I’ll be fine here.

When I see what they can do,
I feel so sad and lonely.
If I were to go there,
do you really think I would be
safe on the ground,
safe on the ground?

Do you really think I would be
safe on the ground,
safe on the ground?

I was born in the clouds,
would never go down
for fear it’d be much too risky.
