I guess I’ll walk further, climb a bit higher
I guess I’ll be bolder, grow wings that will flutter
I guess I’ll sing louder, turn cries into laughter
Or else I’ll stay longer on some beach in the summer
No
I don’t want you to go just yet;
Please don’t
I wish you were here
Though you are, you are not
So I guess I’ll walk further, climb a bit higher
I guess I’ll be bolder, grow wings that will flutter
I guess I’ll sing louder, turn cries into laughter
Or else I’ll stay longer on some beach in the summer
Because I’m not ready yet
I’m not ready for the next surprise that life throws this way
I’m not ready yet
Be it happiness, although that’s not around the corner.
