I’m here again floating
in the middle of the atmosphere.
Dizzy timing
thrown by waves of change, I’m spiraling.
I’m free-falling
over fields of opportunity.
Only I’ll know
how to land without tripping.
You can’t stop me. I’m unstoppable.
I put my faith in small miracles, not
tucked away for a rainy day,
but for every waking moment—
every chord we play.
I take a challenge like a warm first kiss—
it’s either sloppy or perfect bliss.
I stick to my guns,
ready with bullets if I need them.
I don’t need to fight;
words don’t ever mean more than life.
Take what you need.
Leave the rest for the worthy.
You can’t stop me. I’m unstoppable.
I put my faith in small miracles, not
tucked away for a rainy day,
but for every waking moment—
every chord we play.
You can’t stop me. No, you can’t stop me.
You can’t beat me or defeat me.
I free-fall with the winds of change;
turbulence never scared me away.
I’m here floating
in the middle of the atmosphere—
dizzy timing
in the middle of the atmosphere.
