My hopes are high
too high
they are flying with the birds
quick shoot them down!
Stop them from soaring
keep them from knowing
I've got to keep my feet on the ground.
I can't let them become out of reach
I must see and hold them to my chest
I can't let them get out of control
that is what is best.
If I don't shoot them down
inevitably someone else will
step back, forefinger on the trigger
aim and pull back
I've got to keep my feet on the ground.
