Song Lyrics

I fell down, down, down
Into this dark and lonely hole
There was no one there to care about me anymore
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold
Of the edge
You were sitting there holding a rope

And well go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
We will go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here... my dear...
It won't be long now, it won't be long now

When we get back on land
Well I'll never get my chance
Be ready to live and it will be ripped right out of my hands
And Maybe someday we will take a little ride
We will go up, up, up and everything will be just fine

And we will go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher

We will go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here... my dear...
It won't be long now, it won't be long now
If only... I had a little bit more time
If only... I had a little bit more time with you 

 
We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
And sit there holding hands
And everything would be just right
And maybe someday I'll see you again
We will float up in the clouds and we will never see the end

We will go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
We will go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here... my dear...
It won't be long now, it won't be long now


Personal Reflection

I can only imagine the pain, the heartbreak, the struggle that Zach and his family went through after being informed of his condition. What if your Doctor tells you that you have only one year to live...What will you do to make the most out of the time you have left ?
