Just a turn into life
A turn on the line
One foot down
But the other afloat
Your arm up in the air
His upon your waist
You've barely made a half
Yet the whole of a two
You're lifted in a word
No longer do you hold
A gravitated foot
But you're not on your own
Nothing left to say
As the one becomes a two
You've now left the air
You're back on your own
But everything breaks,
And you fall.
Some people would never get back up,
But you're not afraid to walk alone.
You'll stand, you'll be forgiven
You've done what no other watching could.
You've succeeded your wildest dreams.
You've such a life left,
You'll work hard
You have new wild dreams.
