Trampoline

We gathered as foreign journeys
Crossing paths at a hostel far removed
Sinking down into a place of comfort
Knowing well we would take to sky in June
With fevered well intentions
Plans to land on another roost someday
But our paths have shaped us further
And one of us is falling down into flames

What goes up must come down
What was lost was nowhere to be found

Jump around on the trampoline
What goes up must come down
Four birds go and spread their wings
Three fly high one falls to the ground
Real honest truths take hold
When gravity is king
Cuz the mighty fall from the highest heights
When they jump from the trampoline

At the end of a new migration
We returned to the sanctuary of old
Three East one northern flight path
The three of us new bonding forged and bold
But despite an invitation
The northern bird remained on errant gales
The eddies gusts and jetstreams
Have taken her and removed her from this tale

What goes up must come down
What was lost was nowhere to be found

Jump around on the trampoline
What goes up must come down
Four birds go and spread their wings
Three fly high one falls to the ground
Real honest truths take hold
When gravity is king
Cuz the mighty fall from the highest heights
When they jump from the trampoline

I gave you all
I gave you every part of myself
Before your fall
I had reason to trust, I couldn't tell
That as the four of us flew
You could only fight gravity so long
We three fly but you
You've inspired ire ablaze in song

Jump around on the trampoline
What goes up must come down
Four birds go and spread their wings
Three fly high one falls to the ground
Real honest truths take hold
When gravity is king
Cuz the mighty fall from the highest heights
Cuz the mighty fall from the highest heights
Cuz the Mighty fall from the highest heights
When they jump from the trampoline
