COLOR BALLOONS

Color Balloons

Oh, to live on top of the highest mountain
in a castle of a dark cold love
a place I never wanted to be I love summers breeze 
please let me be free like a balloon 

Though my sad lonely years holding on too dreams 
praying to here I will be leaving soon
that I have past my test with no regrets 
It's so noisy at the fair far away from here 
I love the sound of kids playing around

I bite all my old friends are there
dancing around given candy kisses to a happy clown 
little ones holding on to their mother and father 
not making a fuss of who is around them

but if they only known the eyes that is hunting them
Oh, to live on the top of a darken mountain
I can see a lot from my darken bedroom 
If only they could see me too 

Oh, colored balloons of a beautiful moon you see it too
There's a girl just down the away losing her way
Oh please don't turn to the lying eyes because it will hurt
the pains of him will cut deep within your soul 

please walk away with a smile on your face knowing 
you said no to the jerk, let your color balloons loos 
let them fly high into the midnight sky 
I pray you had read all my words I had ever written 
can you hear my tears fall from my bedroom window 
words of my silence 

Words of a woman missing 
Did anyone read the hidden note of me? 
Oh, to live on top of that cold darken mountain
locked away in a darken dream up in a castle praying for 
true Love to find me to break the spell that was put on me

oh, colored balloons fly high away into the midnight sky 
I want to see freedom even if it is only make believe it is me
I know I am underneath the stairs that shine so bright 
giving back some glares for wishes to be made

To the people who never dreams to people who do dream 
to the people who sleeps in peace 
Thinking of your freedom like the color balloons
You're leaving too soon you want to be alone

please hold on to what you have and be glad
never look back at your broken down past
if you do look back you may not find your way back.
