All Hope is Lost
March 21, 2016
Us children watching our joy flow away
Will it ever come back and reach us someday
Floating into the great big sky, our emotions died
While sitting on the mountain, we wanted to cry
We jumped as high as we could, but we knew it was no good
Where is the place this great object would fly
Is it my fault, would it die
If it came back, it would be a miracle
I would always say that balloon was spiritual
And so it flew away, in the middle of the day
All hope was lost, it was gone, put away
