Why do the clouds never fall down?
Cloud or a person – they’re two different things,
two worlds, separated by a truth that stings.
Magic is something that holds them apart,
but the thing that keeps them together is called art.
The people are walking and dashing below,
the clouds are in their place, where they flow.
The people look up at the sun and get dizzy,
their imagination is packed into boxes, they’re busy.
Imagine what it is being a cloud –
it’ll probably be awesome, and I’ll be so proud!
The stardust keeps you above in the sky,
where all the dreams, wishes and good powers fly!
Speaking of clouds, I will tell you the reason,
locking the humans on the ground for a season.
Why do the clouds never fall down?
After all that rain, how do they never drown?
Aren’t the tears that they shed called rain?
They might look weightless, but don’t they feel pain?
Well of course that they do, and their secret is small,
but it’s the little things in life that make us, after all.
“Easy for them,” you say, but it’s not –
you’re also able to do it, but it’s a natural thought.
The clouds – well, they dream. That’s what keeps them alive,
so inside or outside – they don’t ever die.
Sometimes it’s hard to carry all that weight,
to keep the world whole, to keep giving faith.
That’s why it rains, ’cause sometimes they cry,
but they need to keep going, so they just try.
The people – no hope, but they’re full of fears,
they won’t make a boat to swim through the tears.
Imagination is left on the top shelf to dust,
they don’t do it ’cause they want to, but because they must.
All they need is a bunch of coincidences to believe it’s real,
so they’re not afraid to go, so they’re not afraid to feel.
A person to give them the key to the cage,
so they let the bird fly and are not afraid of age.
Everyone has those dark clouds in their life,
where they feel like they’re on the edge of a knife.
Just remember: believe and never give up –
even if it burns, you should still empty the cup.
So here is the question – why clouds never fall?
Now you know their secret, really – that’s all!
No need to be a cloud, remember to smile.
Happiness has a long path – it might take a while.
