lyrics

Helium Heart

Life is a balloon that can never come down
What on earth can gravity say to helium?

I was sailin' up over my little town
Lookin' out upon the beautiful fields and I was feelin' 'em.

And I can really say it was my favorite part
Flyin' up and up with a helium heart
I wanna go, I wanna fly

The sky is up above us like an open door
Cuz baby, we're not tied, tied, down to the dust

Soon, soon, little balloon, baby you're gonna soar
And leap up into the wind in a wonderful gust

And I can really say it was my favorite part
Flyin' up and up with a helium heart
I wanna go, I wanna fly

Cuz I'm a balloon and I'm gonna rise
I'm goin' straight into the clear blue skies
They tell me I can't, but surprise, surprise
This helium heart was made to fly, yeah yeah

And I can really say it was my favorite part
Flyin' up and up with a helium heart
I wanna go, I wanna fly
