You’ve never been taught to swim,
you’ve never been trained to fly,
but come and take a leap of faith
before you begin to question why;

Glide too high and reach the sky,
the sun will burn you to a crisp,
your ashed falling down to Earth
in trailing clouds and lonely wisps;

To make sure you can’t be missed,
do keep a distance above the sea,
or else you’ll be swallowed whole,
a hundred feet before you scream.
