I sat on the edge of the wall
The call from the wind
Was beautiful
I was shocked to still be standing,
Alive, awake, and well

I was sideways,
And my heart was upside down
My body floated
Off the ground
I was locked in freedom

Cold air became warmer
The icicles melted,
The sugarplums bolted,
And I was sadly falling asleep
Oh no, another dream

I woke to a world
Flat and round
It covered the land
And covered the sound
I used to hear from the edge of the wall

The markings, I missed,
And the scratches, I kissed
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
The world was back to normal
And so was I

The world seems much better when you look at it with your own perspective.
