The Girl Who Jumped from a Plane

You're 22
You're not sure what to do
Your friends are going to dive into the clouds
You go along for the ride
You hide your feelings inside
But your heart is beating out loud

When the time comes at the edge of the sky
You find peace and you fly

You're the girl who jumped from a plane
You're the girl who jumped from a plane
In this world of sadness and pain
Remember you are the girl who jumped from a plane

You're 28
Running from the Chinese state
As the battle rages in Tiananmen Square
You look the tiger in the eye
You don't dare blink, you don't dare cry
If you do, you might never leave there

Your papers arrive so you can depart
The story of your courage still touches my heart

You're the girl who jumped from a plane
You're the girl who jumped from a plane
In this world of sadness and pain
Remember you are the girl who jumped from a plane

This was all before we met
We've lived our lives, we raised kids, we paid our debts
The world today can be really rough
But you're still that girl who has always stood tough

You're the girl who jumped from a plane
You're the girl who jumped from a plane
In this world of sadness and pain
Remember that you are the girl who jumped from a plane
Remember you are the girl who jumped from a plane
Remember that you are the girl who jumped from a plane
