Parachute

I am very prone to trip And fall off ropes or sides of cliffs I get hurt and easily bruise You always know what to do Wrap your arms around like straps I wear you like a backpack You know that I rely on you My parachute My head is often in the clouds Miles and miles above the ground So distracted by the view Priorities can get confused When I get too far side to side You center me and smooth the ride You know that I rely on you My parachute When the path is crumbling And I feel myself plummeting Falling fast collecting speed I'm in the grips of gravity You always open up for me And I land firmly on my feet You know that I rely on you My parachute I'm not falling I am floating In the weather I am flowing I've been told I am the kind Who belongs up in the sky Way out in the atmosphere Among the stars and meteors Knowing I have you with me I'm not afraid to take the leap You know that I rely on you My parachute
