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
