Heave-ho!
It’s not over yet
Heave-ho!
We’re still going
Heave-ho!
It all starts
Heave-ho!
Right here
Right now
“Are you ready?”
“Not just yet!”
The kids are playing
Hide-and-seek
It’s adorable
And nostalgic
Time stops for a mere moment
Always bearing the weight of invisible baggage
We live our lives hunched over
We know it’s no one’s fault
But we blame someone else, or resent ourselves
Standing on our tiptoes
Bathing in the wind’s distortion
We’ll set it free
Watch it fly ever onward
Beyond the wire fence
Take the future plan you rolled up back then
And imagine it’s a paper airplane
Flying to see who we’ll become next
“Are you ready?”
“Not just yet!”
I’m done playing hide-and-seek
Inside my heart
Heave-ho!
It’s not over yet
Heave-ho!
We’re still going
Heave-ho!
It all starts
Heave-ho!
Right here
The only way to keep going is to change
I’ve long understood that
If only, by accepting our new surroundings
We could find acceptance for all that has brought us here
Standing on our tiptoes
Bathing in the wind’s distortion
We’ll sing
The petals are dancing
In the glittering place we’ve liberated
Let’s play a melody for tomorrow
And watch it fly ever onward
Beyond the wire fence
The future plan that disappeared that day
Standing on our tiptoes
To see who we’ll become next
The petals are dancing
Toward the future that comes next
Forgiving yesterday
To see who we’ll become next
Forgiving ourselves
To see the future that comes next
Letting our voices echo
To see who we’ll become next
Letting our songs echo
To see the future that comes next
Letting our voices echo
To see who we’ll become next
Letting our songs echo
To see the future that comes next
Letting it fly, as it carries our tears away
To see who we’ll become next
