Balloon Boy

balloon boy, balloon boy, high up in the sky

won't you come take me for a ride?

you look so happy hanging by a string

without a care in the world, but with happiness you sing!


balloon boy, balloon boy, its so lonely down here

come take my hand, fly me away from my drear

my hand in yours, yours in mine

up above the clouds we climb!


balloon boy, balloon boy, its so lonely where I reside

the children do not play,  all the adults hide

the houses are all gray, its sickening to see

even animals know my home is where they shouldn't be


balloon boy, balloon boy, what a magical sight

with tree tops and mountains, my fear has no flight

my heartaches and troubles, all of my despair

no longer can hurt me, even if they dare


balloon boy, balloon boy, oh how it feels

to grace the skies with the world at my heels!

the clouds and the sun, my newest of friends

along with you who believes without end


balloon boy, balloon boy, you wipe away my tears

the journey end is coming, one of my saddest fears

I can't go back down there, and face this world of unknown

up here its so much nicer, and I hardly feel alone 


balloon boy, balloon boy, you land me on my feet

it is the gray houses that my eyes first greet

the clouds start to rain, and i start to sigh

maybe i'm not meant to be part of the sky


balloon boy, balloon boy, where did you go?
