lyrics

She was a regular girl next door
Chasing seconds that ticked on the wall
Building sandcastles of dreams

One day, she had a sudden knock on her door
The stranger came and started a war
Drowning her sandcastles within

All her crowns of yesterday
Broke and flew away
As the dawn broke and senses wake
These words sang in her head

Life is like a giant playground,
It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide
Your wind give me wings to fly… and ride

Enter pain, he crept by to visit her fall
Stripped her pride and dug up a knoll
Of loneliness and heartache

Then came hope, he came by and planted a trace
In her mind and birthed daily grace
Even when she couldn’t see

All her crowns of yesterday
Broke and flew away
As the dawn broke and senses wake
These words sang in her head

Life is like a giant playground,
It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide
Your wind give me wings to fly
The bully’s gone now, he was chased out
by a bigger and stronger Hero
who picked me up from the dusty sand
It’s no myth that we can stand
after the fall and ride on

Standing at the edge of unknown
Looking for a light
Waiting for a sign from above
To cross over and take flight

Life is like a giant playground,
It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide
Your wind give me wings to fly
The bully’s gone now, he was chased out
by a bigger and stronger Hero
who picked me up from the dusty sand
It’s no myth that we can stand
after the fall and ride on
