Clouds (From the College Window)

I watch the clouds from the college window

There's a peace in them that I have never known

I watch the birds fly by high rises

And people walk by

What does it feel like to be part of the sky

I chase a different high

I wanna feel alive

What does it feel like to leave behind

The things that keep me on the ground

If gravity couldn't keep me down

I've always just wanted to live, y'know

I think as much as I thought I didn't

Somehow I knew I needed to

Does that make sense at all

So leave behind

I'll leave behind

So leave behind

A form that was never mine

A world that was never kind

I wanna feel alive

I will learn to fly

I chase a different high

I wanna feel alive
