Come on down here,
Your high horse is looking pretty skittish,
Try a little giving,
Without tripping,
Gripping a whip in your fist.
Look up,
When you want to look down,
Put your head in the sky,
Leave your shoes on the ground,
Knowing you can keep going,
When you want to turn around,
Hey! Look up now.
In cold fear,
Of brittle viscous anger unremitting,
Why don't you see how it fits,
Just giving a little bit,
Feel how it sits,
But you slipped like a recidivist.
Look up,
When you want to look down,
Put your head in the sky,
Leave your shoes on the ground,
Knowing you can keep going,
When you want to turn around,
Hey! Look up now.
Take hold of the hand that you dreamt of,
Back when it seemed dreams were true,
Be bold,
Understanding what went wrong,
Saddened, redeemed and bemused,
Believe that your friends will be there for you,
Friends, whatever you do.
You have to face it,
He sirens in your mind are growing too loud,
Drowning out the quiet now,
How you're nameless in a crowd,
Once proud,
Now you're diminishing.
Look up,
When you want to look down,
Put your head in the sky,
Leave your shoes on the ground,
Knowing you can keep going,
When you want to turn around,
Hey! Look up now.
