Coming Down

Angel Gabriels' stepping down, says he's tired of flying around.
Says, "it's ok, when you're airborne, it's the coming down that I don't much care for.
Going up is easy, you just catch yourself a wave and let it pull you along,
but coming down is hell, you just shut your eyes and pray that your feet hit the ground.

Hold on tight, hang on for your life,
many an angel has taken a dive, coming... down."

Peter Pan hit the floor, Tinkerbell knew the score,
she said: "Sorry Pete, I could've told you, when you ride on the wind, there's no net below you.
Going up is easy, baby catch yourself a wave and let it pull you along,
cause coming down is hell- you'd better shut your eyes and pray that your feet hit the ground.

Hold on tight; hang on for your life,
many a man has taken a dive, coming... down."

Icarus died flying. Well, most of us live without ever trying,
and maybe it's true that he should've known better
than to fly to the sun with wax on his feathers',
but maybe the flight was worth the fall, maybe he didn't mind- at all.
Who's to know? Who's to say? But if you feel inclined to do the same,

Hold on tight, hang on for your life,
many a dream has taken a dive,
coming....down.
