Everything happened just like you said.
I didn't mean to turn my head.
You told me that when I reached the top,
to reach back down again,

Stand up, dust off and try again.
Fling yourself up into the sky,
beyond the stars and fall.
Bring back down with you your pride.

Find all your hopes and dreams,
and follow them through the sky.
and take a moment to cry sometimes.
Throw yourself upon the ground,
Every day better than the last.

Actualize your dreams, dearie.
Is what she used to say.
It hung on to me like the plague.
So thankful that it did.
