(Verse 1)

A girl was on a swings set,

Soaring to her highest heights,

Afraid to let go of her chains,

But afraid to hold on to tight.

(Verse 2)

She’s soaring so much higher,

She is caught in an air stream,

But no matter how hard she tries,

She is far too weak to scream.

(Chorus)

I feel like I’m on that swing set,

Swinging high above the crowds,

No matter how scared I get up there,

I am unable to scream so loud.

But I realize that I’m flying,

And I’m suddenly filled with new glee,

Soon I will be laughing and smiling,

Because I realize that I’m free.

(Verse 3)

But now I feel so beautiful,

Like a song mother used to sing,

And I feel just like an angel,

Cause I’m flying with golden wings.

(Chorus)

(Verse 4)

I’m almost on the ground now,

I feel more broken than before,

I’m crying while I’m falling,

Now I’m crumpled on the floor.

(Chorus 2X)

I feel like I’m on that swing set,

Swinging high above the town,

No matter how dark it gets up there,

There is no way for me to get down.

But soon I might just be flying,

Soon I’ll be filled with a new glee,

Then I’ll be laughing and smiling,

Because then I will know I’m free.

I feel like the girl on a swing set.
