Lyrics

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky But now it must fall to the ground Now your sad eyes reveal Just how badly you feel 'Cause there is no easy way down The view from the cliffs must have been exciting And up to the peaks you were bound Now you're stranded alone And the path is unknown And there is no easy way down No, it isn't very easy When you're left on your own No, it isn't very easy When each road you take Is one more mistake And there's no one to break your fall And lead you back home We all like to climb to the heights, I know Where a fantasy world can be found But you must know in the end When it's time to descend There is no easy way down You know you're gonna find There is no easy way down
