I wish I were a loose balloon and free to fly
Drifting out of the window into the blue sky
I would pass treetops on the way
And I'd run out of gas after a single day
I wish I were a red balloon losing gravity
Blown away drifting in a summer's breeze
Until someone pricks me I'd make no sound
I would be looney and spin around and round and round
But I'm not loose and I'm not free to fly
I'm grounded here dreaming of the sky
I wish I were a loose balloon floating free and clear
Watch the earth far below empty free from fear
Until someone pricks me I'd make no sound
I would be looney and spin around and round and round
But I'm not loose and I'm not free to fly
I'm grounded here dreaming of the sky
I wish I were a loose balloon and free to fly
Drifting out of the window into the blue sky
Until someone pricks me I'd make no sound
I would be looney and spin around and round and round
But I'm not loose
