I tried to reach out and touch the sky   Well I grabbed the rope and I held on tight   Layed on my chest and gave up the sign   And I got pulled up in the warm sunshine      She treated me kind   Her skin was so smooth   She swallowed my fall   A little to soon      I tried to spread my wings and fly   I jumped the ramp and closed my eyes   The pieces shattered and that's when I knew   My throat would fill with the warm bayou      I didn't hear a sound   When I came crashing down   They had to pull me to the ground      I didn't hear a sound   When I came crashing down   They had to pull me to the ground      Itried to reach out and touch the sky   I grabbed the rope and held on tight   Layed on my chest and gave up the sign   And I got pulled up in the warm sunshine      She treated me kind   Her skin was so smooth   She swallowed my fall   A little to soon      And I didn't hear a sound   When I came crashing down   They had to pull me to the ground
