Parachutes - Bentley Jones

One day I’ll tell you all the reasons that I cry

And you will gasp and wonder how did I get by

There is something that I pull from deep inside

Though I can’t say the reasons for all my tears

The light you brought into my dark abated fear

And I knew that the next morning would be near

And we, we are the roots

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

And we can only grow up

But they all fall down and they all fall to the ground

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

Please do not misinterpret my incapacity

Silence does not reflect my slow insanity

But I know that you can feel me, do you feel me?

We’re slowly getting stronger day-by-day

By nourishment from the sun that keeps the woe away

When the rain comes, to the sky you’ll show the way

And we, we are the roots

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

And we can only grow up

But they all fall down and they all fall to the ground

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

Without the ground I’d have no-where to land

Without the lines I wouldn’t know which way to turn

Without the canopy gravity brings me to the ground

I tumble down, down, down

Without the ground I’d have no-where to land

Without the lines I wouldn’t know which way to turn

Without the canopy gravity brings me to the ground

I tumble down, down, down

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

And we, we are the roots

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

And we can only grow up

But they all fall down and they all fall to the ground

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes

They’re the parachutes, they’re the parachutes
