Terminal Velocity

Life has a way of humbling us all, and all of us taste defeat Everyone wants to sit on the throne till somebody pulls out the seat We float like a feather, we run with the river We drift through the never, but always end up on the ground Just when you thought you could fly You're losing height at the speed of light Just when you thought you had reached the sky Life at terminal, terminal velocity Life has a way of lifting you up and sweeping you off your feet Some have to start all over, and some cry while counting sheep How can a child have cancer? How can you call it karma? How can a war be civil yet filled with melodrama? Just when you thought you could fly You're losing height at the speed of light Just when you thought you had reached the sky Life at terminal, terminal velocity Just when you thought you were safe And you let love into your heart The barbed wire fence that protects you Was really, was really, was really the prisoners' yard Life is a matter of faith To feel you're not already dead The climb to the top of the cliff And stepping out over the edge Living life at terminal, terminal velocity Living life at terminal, terminal velocity Terminal velocity
