Tethered to the ground like a balloon trying float,
Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulder while trying to hold on to hope,
Rise off the floor and the try to remember who you are,
You may not see them but we all have scars,
Cut the strings that make you feel like lead,
Create a rope for stability even if you do it thread by thread,
There's nobody else like you one of a kind,
Follow your own path and look for the signs,
Like a balloon become weightless don't let anyone hold you down,
Never lose that smile straighten up your crown,
The world is yours to explore it's at your fingertips,
Hold on tight and never lose your grip.
