A WALK IN THE SKY

i walk in the sky
if i fall, i shall die
i see the sun better as i go higher
my life gets lighter
i can touch the clouds
and shake their tears to the ground
i can see the moon coming up
as it chases the sun
i can see you under me
you raise your head and it's me you see
i walk in the sky
why don't you join me next time?
